Sexual harassment charges
against Dean are disputed
By Paul Fultz
Staff Writer
U of L School of Music Dean Herbert
Kocrselman, accused by a former secretary of
sexual harassment, responded to the allegations
on Dec. 6, saying that they are completely untrue.
Koersclman's statements were backed up by
David White, the Assistant Directorof Personnel
at Sam Houston Stale University, Koersclman's
former school.
In the Dec. 1 issue. The Louisville Cardinal
reported that Rebecca Rhynard, a former secre-tary
of Koersclman's at Sam Houston, made
allegations of sexual harassment against him in a
sworn statement. In the statement. Rhynard said
she reported the harassment to White. But White,
who was not contacted by the Cardinal for the
Dec. 1 article, said in a Dec. 6 telephone inter-view
that Rhynard never reported the allegations
to him.
“She reported a work problem to me,” White
said. “Kocrselman had approached her about her
performance on the job. She was distraught and
crying and said she was going to quit. She said
Koerselman was trying to get rid ofher. I called
(Koerselman) and said ‘are you trying to fire
her?' He said no, I'm trying to work it out. She
agreed to work out the problem.”
This differs from the account given by
Rhynard, who said White called Koerselman and
reprimanded him by telephone in her presence.
White said that neither Rhynard nor anyone else
ever reported any allegations oif sexual harass-ment
against Koerselman to the school.
Koerselman was the chair of Sam Houston’s
musiedepartmentfrom 1982 to 1992. He came to
“They are totally without
grounds, totally false.”
School of Music Dean
Herbert Koerselman
U of L in the fall of 1992.
Rhynard was previously tnarried to Maurice
Rhynard, a former Sam Houston music professor
who sued Koerselman and the University, alleg-ing
that he had been improperly denied tenure.
After several years of litigation, the case was
dismissed by the Texas Court of Appeals this
past March. The sexual harassment charges were
not part of the testimony in that case. They were
made in an affidavit attested to by Lu Anna
Berringer, a notary public in the state of Texas,
on July, 28,1994. They were not, as reported by
the Cardinal on Dec. 1, “sworn to the state of
Texas.” The affidavit was not filed with any
official body.
When Kocrselman was contacted by the Car-dinal
by phone on Nov. 29 to respond to the
allegations, he said he was unaware of them. He
reiterated in a Dec. 6 interview that he was
unaware of the allegations at that time and there-fore
could not respond to them. He said the
allegations are untrue.
“They are totally without grounds, totally
false,” Koerselman said. “She is the (ex-)wife of
a faculty member who was deniedtenure. During
all the litigation, this was never brought up. The
affidavit is already suspicious because it was
done July 28, 1994.”
Rebecca Rhynard’s attorney, Anne Chrane of
Huntsville, Texas, said Dec. 7 that her client
stands by her statements. She said the allegations
were not brought forth during the testimony in
the tenure case because the case was never brought
to trial. Koerselman sought, and eventually won,
an injunction from the courts on the grounds of
immunity.
“At the injunction hearing, that particular
evidence was not something I fell was necessary
to the injunction hearing,” Chrane said. "It was
for the jury trial. It was to go to motivation as to
why Koerselman acted the way he did. Unfortu-nately,
the case never went to trial.”
Koerselman, contacted by phone by The Car-dinal
on Dec. 7 and asked if he had any response
to Chrane's statement, once again stressed his
innocence. “The allegations arc totally false and
unfounded,” he said.
Survey says ...
Faculty voice concerns over administration
By Jodi Helntz
Staff Writer
The results ofa newly-released faculty survey
show a clear discontent among full-time faculty
concerning the Board of Trustees and President
Donald Swain, as well as an interest in collective
bargaining. The Faculty Senate released results
of the survey, conducted by the Senate’s Plan-ning
Committee, at its Dec. 7 meeting.
The survey was sent to all 1,178 full-time
faculty, and over 600 faculty have responded.
(Tabulated results include surveys received by
Dec. 2, atotal 0f587respondents.) Rick Feldhoff,
Planning Committee chair, pointed out that when
the last survey was conducted two years ago only
about 10 percent of the faculty responded.
“I am very impressed by a return of 600
respondents,” Faculty Senate Chair Richard
Stremcl said. “So the faculty clearly wanted to
say something and now it is up to the Senate to do
something with it.”
The survey distinguished between facultyfrom
the Belknap and Health Sciences Campus(HSC),
faculty rank, primary work area and years at U of
L. Faculty were asked to express their views on
a scale of one to nine (one being strongly disagree
and nine being strongly agree, five being neu-tral),
about the following seven issues:
• Exploring collective bargaining
• That the Faculty Sen-ate
provide leadership
to explore collective
bargaining options
• That the next Presi-dent
should be an aca-demician
• Views surrounding
the recent Redbook
changes implemented
by the Board of Trust-ees
• That the Faculty Sen-ate
should take a vote
ofno-confidence in the
President
• That the Faculty Sen-ate
should take a vote
of no-confidence in the
Board of Trustees
Results from the sur-vey
were sent to the
Board on Dec. 6, but
Feldhoff had not heard any response as of the
afternoon of Wednesday, Dec. 7.
Regarding the vote of no-confidence for the
President, almost 40 percent of the Belknap
faculty and about 30 percent of the HSC faculty
strongly agreed. Those figures jumped almost 10
percent for each group concerning a vote of no-confidence
for the Board.
Feldhoff said that based on comments some
respondents attached to their survey and the
results of the survey itself, there is a message
being sent.

Caffeine helps students
struggle through finals
By Amy Huffman
Staff Writer
Have you ever noticed your hands invol-untary
trembling just before you gave a
speech? Or right before a job interview?
Have you ever experienced the same invol-untary
trembling if you skipped your regu-lar
cup of coffee in the morning? Maybe
you’ve had an annoying eye-twitch and
chalked it up to stress. Or maybe you’ve
found yourselfstaring at the red light, sym-bolizing
emptiness on the cola machine,
swearing that your headache would disap-pear
if you just had a Mountain Dew.
If you fit any ofthe above descriptions, It
may not be just stress or nervousness—you
may be addicted to caffeine. With final ex-ams
right around the comer, many students
may feel the need to turn to caffeine pills,
coffee or soft drinks to make it through all-night
study sessions.
“I've already noticed that the coke ma-chines
arc out ofMountain Dew,” said sopho-more
Andy Reynolds. “And if you actually

UK drops KHEAA, may hurt U of L aid
By Anthony Perkinson
Staff Writer
A recent decision by the University of
Kentucky could have widespread effects at
schools throughout the state, including the
University of Louisville. UK, along with
Morehead State University, has decided to
discontinue its use of the Kentucky Higher
Education Assistance Authority, (KHEAA),
which in the past has been the source of
millions of dollars in grants, work study
programs and teacher scholarships. Instead UK
will use the Federal Direct Student Loan
Program, (FDSLP).
The KHEAA normally distributes millions
of dollars in state financial aid to Kentucky
schools. The group collects money annually
from the federal government, banks and
students for processing loans. The money is
then used towards financial aid grants and
similar programs.
Last year the KHEAA contributed $1.7
million to state student aid. Of that $1.7
million, UK was responsible for around
$600,000, or about a third of that amount.

Choir members make spirituality part of music
By Paul Buckman
Contributing Writer
For the past 25 years, the Univer-sity
of Louisville’s Black Diamond
Choir has been singing gospel music
throughout Kentucky and Indiana.
Organized in 1969, the 30-plus
member group is composed solely of
University of Louisville students and
alumni.
Although the choir is offered at U
of L as a one-hour course, most
students do not sing to fulfill credit
requirements towards degrees, and
many alumni who previously sang in
the choir return.
Mary Cross, a U of L alumna who
works at United Parcel Service and
Sears, schedules her jobs around the
choir and is a 15-year member of the
group. “The choir is well worth my
time” Cross said. She encouraged
students to consider the one-hour
course but warned, “The course is a
positive A, but not an easy A.”
Michelle Sydnor, a U of L gradu-ate,
is an accountant at Humana and
has been in the choir for seven years.
She said that the choir gives her a
reason to praise God.
Other group members such as
Cleneida Owens, a soprano in the
choir who has been singing since
childhood, sings for the “spiritual
uplifting” that she receives from
gospel music. “Even though the choir
has gotten smaller, it’s fun. especially
when they ask you back,” Owens said.
Most choir members said that the
choir is not too time consuming.
Andre Brown, a music student at the
University, said, “The group builds
leadership qualities. I like the fellow-ship
and cohesiveness.” Brown sang
in community choirs before getting
involved with the gospel group and
has on occasion sung solo in the
choir’s concerts.
The Black Diamond Choir also
sponsors an annual food drive called
“Feed Families for Christmas," which
ran this year from Nov. 7 to Dec. 2.
This is the 14th year that the choir has
sponsored the drive, which raises
donations of food and money from

various local companies and individu-als.
The choir uses the donated food
and money to provide Christmas
baskets to needy families in the
community.
“It’s more than a class, it’s an
experience," said Tonya Triplet, the
group’s director for the past two years.
Triplet is a graduate of Kentucky State
University and feels that the choir is
an avenue for students to come and
worship by spreading the word of
Jesus Christ through song.
Ron Jones is the assistant choir
director and aids Triplet in rehearsals.
“Gospel music is a ministry that
happens to entertain, not a music to
entertain," Jones said. Jones also said
the choir has been a positive “recruit-ment
tool” in bringing students to the
University.
The Black Diamond Choir closes
its fall season with a concert at
Bethany Baptist Church. Dec. 11. The
church is located at 2319 Taylorsville
Road and the concert begins at 7 p.m.
All concerts are free and open to the
public. For spring concert informa-tion,
listen to WHAS radio during U
of L’s sports activities between Jan.
14 and March 2 for the choir's half-time
spots, or contact the Office of
Minority Services. Any student that
wishes to join the choir, or for
booking information, contact the

Holiday season intensifies some people’s depression
By Doug Begley
Staff Writer
Ever felt a little blue? Ever felt life is
hopeless? Ever wondered what the dif-ference
is and when it has gone too far?
Clinical depression affects over 17.6
percent of American men and women of
all classes, ages and races. With the
holiday season upon us, depression can
kick into high gear. Getting help can
help alleviate those feelings of hope-lessness,
and U ofLdoes have resources
to support students.
According to Mike Mculcr of the U
of L counseling center, depression is a
varied range of symptoms and severi-ties.
“We each have ourown history,”
Mculcr said. “Think of depression as a
span from being a little sad to being
really sad, to the point you
can not function anymore
in society.“This is the range
depression can take on in
people, because each per-son
will react to his/her situ-ations
differently.
With the holiday season
upon us. depression can be
even more apparent, ac-cording
to Meuler.
“The holidays arc diffi-cult
for people to cope
with," Mculcr said. “For the
college student, what hap-pens
if mom and dad arc
divorced and mom has a
small apartment and dad is
remarried with a family of
his own, where do you go?
It can be especially trying
if this is the first Christmas
without a certain person.**
Just as each person has
different symptoms, they
also require different types
of treatment. The most im-portant
aspect of help,
Mculcr claims, is that the
depressed person talk to someone and
make the attempt to get help.
"Whoever they talk to is going to
have to help them, and together they'll
find a way out," Mculcr said. “Talking is
very helpful to healing. Males have a
very hard time doing this. Females arc
better at sitting and talking and sharing.
Two-thirds of everyone we see is fe-male;
males don't come for help often."
Meuler and many experts attribute
this lack of male sharing to the way boys
and girlsarc raised in America. Boys are
brought up to be tough and emotionless
so they can be the strong provider, the
theory goes, while women are generally
raised to be emotional and show their
feelings. Mculcr docs agree that this is
changing slightly in our culture, but he
still sees many more women than men
come in for help at U of L.
Talking is a very positive way of
getting help and settling the issue with-out
medication, but some people, statis-tically
college males in particular, try to
get help from a non-reliable source, al-cohol.
“A lot of students cope with alco-hol
because when they drink they don’t
have to think," Muclcr said.
Alcohol, being a depressant itself,
makes a person even more prone to
being depressed. So while it is a relax-ant,
it could also increase the depression
of someone drinking because of stress.
While no definitive cure for depres-sion
is available now, there are medica-tions
some take to get over depression.
Yet many doctors warn that these medi-cines
arc aids and arc not the only aspect
to helping a depressed person overcome
their problems.
"liiercarc some people who get help
from prescriptions, but I do not see it
with the people we work with,” Mueller
said. “An anti-depressant can help, but if
you abuse yourself and take alcohol,
then you are going to be in trouble.
“They try to come up with more and
more chemicals, but we are going to
have to care for ourselves. It’s the same
thing your mom always told you when
you were a little kid; if we keep pushing,
the system's going to break down. It’s
hard for us to think to that long-term
maintenance; we think today. We want
the cure to come today as well.”

major impact on the number of loans
the KHEAAcan fund and may lead to
the association’s downfall.
“Federal legislation has authorized
the FDSLP to function through the
1997-98 school year at approximately
60 percent of the total student loan
volume,” said Blake Tanner, the
director of financial aid at U of L.
This means that U of L has been
forced to make decisions about which
programs to take part in. Although the
FDSLP is much faster, (about three
days to process as opposed to months
by KHEAA), U of L has remained
stationary.
“U of L has chosen to remain in the
KHEAA program. If institutions in
Kentucky opt to participate in FDSLP,
the student loan volume for KHEAA
will be reduced and a source of funding
for a variety of support services and or
funding for grants may be effected,”
Tanner said.
Someday the University of Louis-ville
may not have to make the final
decision whether or not to move to the
new program, because there is
speculation that all state schools will
be required to use the FDSLP in the
future.
Linda Wolanin, the chief operating
officer of the KHEAA, said that day
could be closer than originally
thought.
“Right now both programs are
supposed to work parallel to one
another, but it could be made manda-tory
by the U.S. Department of
Education for all schools to bypass the
KHEAA as soon as 1997 or 1998,”
Wolanin said.
Tanner is fearful of the possible
repercussions at U of L.
“About 1,400 students here receive
grants funded by the KHEAA. Any
reduction of those grants is serious
since we cannot expect the University
or federal resources to pick up the
loss,” Tanner said.
Wolanin also said she and several
other KHEAA officials fear manda-tory
participation in the FDSLP would
prevent their association from serving
Kentucky students properly.
“It could effect students in
several vital areas. Publications,
high school recruitment programs
and traditional financial aid
programs could all be altered
negatively," Wolanin said.

Recent graduates give U of L
education quality high mark
By Amy Huffman
Staff Writer
According to the second annual state
report card on higher education, approxi-mately
one-fifth of freshmen and sopho-mores
in Kentucky’s public colleges
who are seeking degrees aren't ready for
college math classes. And over one-third
of the students in Kentucky’s pub-lic
colleges drop out or transfer within
six years.
The report on the state's educational
system, which includes eight universi-ties
and 14 community colleges, was
presented to the Kentucky General
Assembly’s interim joint Committee on
Education on Dec. 1 by the Council on
Higher Education. The report card also
said that Kentucky schools use their
basic resources, such as laboratories and
classrooms, less efficiently than the uni-versity
systems in other states.
The University of Louisville showed
better results than some other schools in
such areas as success in developmental
math classes, however. And while the
success rate of students in remedial math
classes at some schools leaves some-thing
to be desired, as of 1991, 67.6
percent of the more than 1,300 U of L
students enrolled in remedial math
classes actually passed the course.
The report showed that there was
high satisfaction with the state's educa-tion
system among alumni and recent
graduates. Eighty-six percent of the
University of Louisville alumni who
have graduated in the last two to Five
years said that U of L did a good or
excellent job preparing them for their
careers. And 77 percent of the students
who received bachelor's degrees from
U of L in 1993-94 rated the quality of
their instruction and the quality of other
university services as good or excellent.
While the report provides some an-swers,
it also raises questions that some
legislators believe need to be resolved.
Some of the questions include:
• How effectivelyare colleges teach-ing
the more than 16,000 students who
have to take remedial math?
• If colleges are effectively teaching
those students who must take remedial
math, then why do over 40 percent of
those students still fail the remedial
courses, and why do only 28 percent of
those students who took the remedial
math courses pass their first regular level
math course?
• Why do colleges and universities in
Kentucky use more their classrooms and
laboratories less often, on a weekly ba-sis,
than public colleges and universities
in other states?
• If only 42 percent of the students
seeking bachelor’s degrees complete
their programs in less than six years,
then is the state using its higher-educa-tion
investment wisely?
• Should parents and students con-sider
the graduation rates from a college
or university when choosing a school?
The report also included the goals for
this year set by a committee of college
and council employees. I hc goals were
set for 1997 in such areas as satisfaction
ratings for schools on student, alumni
and other surveys; graduation and rates;
success rates on licensing exams; and
success with remedial programs.
As of now, there aren’t any plans for
what action will be taken if schools don't
meet the goals set by the committee. But
some of the goals arc being worked into
the plan for a performance-based funding
that the Council is developing.
Some individual schools have already
met some of the 1997 goals. For ex-ample,
U of L already has 35 percent of
its students graduating from their pro-gram
in at least six years.
“You Did It!”
A CAMPUS SUCCESS STORY
Thoughts and thanks from U of L/United Way Co-Chairs
Dear Co-Workers and Colleagues:
As volunteer co-chairs of this fall’s U of L campaign for Metro United
Way, we were amazed and deeply touched by the response of the U of L
community.
Consider: community wide, the campaign for 90-plus social service
agencies managed to raise in excess of $22 million—more dollars than ever
before, despite uneasiness about corporate downsizing and job loss.
And here at the University, you showed the stuff of which caring persons
are made. Faculty, staff, administrators and—yes—students pledged a
record-setting $176,000. Asa result, the University achieved a distinguished
recognition as 23rd among the Metro United Way drive’s 25 top contribu-tors.
Just reflect with us, as we thank those of you who contributed or also
helped solicit and organize, on the discouraging circumstances that seemed
to tilt against even reaching the goal needed to meet human woes.
We feared that attention to campus fund shortages and disagreements
over emerging policies might distract from the vital work that the mosaic of
United Way agencies does.
The fear proved to be wonderfully unfounded. And, we speak out of our
own deep feelings when we trace the results to the compassion so many of
you must have felt about a boost to neighbors in trouble—and to those in the
University family who helped make that cause come alive.
Warm thanks to Hall of Fame Coach Denny Crum and his coaching staff,
as well as to five outstanding Cardinal basketball Legends and alums
Blanche Kitchen and Sherrill Brakemeier. The generous gift of their time
and talent made possible the first-ever “Roundball Classic.” Not only did the
Classic launch the campus campaign with a lively “fundraiser,” it focused
the public’s attention on the U of L community’s support of the United Way
purpose.
Thanks also to those U of L staff people who volunteered themselves
and their youngsters as players in this year’s campaign video. It offered first-hand
testimony to how scores of University people and their families are
liberated from physical handicap and family tensions by the counseling,
treatment, refuge and the many other services offered by United Way sup-ported
agencies.
The video revealed to many of us how units, i.e., the Bingham Child
Guidance Clinic and the Family Place, serve U of L students in practicums
and internships as well as University personnel who seek professional help.
And then there were the agency visits open to the U of L community
on which many of you joined us, that gave a further chance to see what
the United Way agencies do.
Most of the 80 unit liaisons who powered the campaign effort touted
these agency tours as really helping them to put a human face on the
campaign’s worthiness.
At the Home of the Innocents, we saw a caring staff hand-feed children
incapable of feeding themselves. At the Center for Women and Families, we
saw the comforting living quarters and play facilities provided for mothers
and children seeking safe harbor from abuse. And at the Boys and Girls Club
East we were guided through the Club’s array of services by an infectiously
optimistic program director, and “high-fived” by bunches of kids enthusiasti-cally
supporting the Club’s surrogate parenting skill.
All of us were deeply moved by the bundle of services funded by United
Way that heal and sustain the human spirit. And the campaign result on the
U of L campuses tells us you shared that feeling.
Although some of us serve on the Boards of United Way agencies, it was
our experience in working with the corps of liaison colleagues and seeing
firsthand the human needs of our community and the impressive in which
these are being tackled, that made us proud to be involved.
So again, a heartfelt thanks! Together, we put substance into our 1994
slogan that fueled this effort: Leading through learning is leading with the
heart.

“I get the feeling there's a tremen-dous
amount of anger in reading the
comments and looking at the survey
responses (regarding the no-confidence
vote)," Feldhoff said.
In his summary statement regarding
the findings. Feldhoff wrote: “Although
many faculty have long believed (hat
both the President and Board deserve
votes of no-confidence, rationality, logic
and intelligence have prevailed in con-tinuing
efforts to work in a collegial
manner based on communication and
compromise. However, the data con-tained
in these graphsclearly represent
the breadth and depth of the anger and
resentment of the faculty toward the
actions of the President and Board.”
The faculty also showed support for
exploring collective bargaining. Ap-proximately
70 percent of the Belknap
faculty and 60 percent of the HSC fac-ulty
responded anywhere from seven to
nine on the scale in support of the idea.
Fcldhoff’s summary stated: “Al-though
many faculty profess to be philo-sophically
opposed to collective bar-gaining
as an anti-academic endeavor,
it appears that the faculty, as a whole,
have been pushed to or past the limit by
the actions ofthe President and Board.”
Results of the Redbook changes
implemented by the Board, which in-clude
establishing department chairs as
administrative positions and requiring
post-tenure review and development of
non tenure track positions, among oth-ers,
drew strong disapproval from
Belknap faculty. Almost 80 percent dis-agreed
with the recent action, and ap-proximately
50 percent of the HSC fac-ulty
disagreed.
According to the minutes at the
Board's last executive committee meet-ing
on Nov. 18, George Fischer, vice
chair of the Executive Committee, asked
if there had ever been a survey which
would tell the Board exactly where the
faculty stand since there are times when
“a few faculty represent themselves as
the entire faculty." He said, according
to the minutes, that the goal is to under-stand
the total faculty.
At that meeting Stremcl.who is also
a board member, raised the issue of the
survey. According to the Committee’s
minutes, Swain read the survey out
loud and stated that it was slanted to-ward
the AAUP (American Associa-tion
of University Professors) and that
it was not a scientific study.
There was consensus among fac-ulty
regarding the next president's
academic background. A little more
than 75 percent of the faculty from
the Belknap and HSC agreed that
the next president must be an expe-rienced
academician.
Robert Stenger, co-chair of the Fac-ulty
Advisory Committee to the Presi-dential
Search Committee, said he sent
a memo to Fischer, co-chair of the
Search Committee, expressingconcerns
about the lack of faculty input in the
narrowing process of potential candi-dates.
While he understands concerns
for confidentiality, he said, he feels
“the process should have credibility
and if that process is closed, it will lack
credibility.”
Stremel agreed. “The search com-mittee
co-chairs are deathly concerned
about confidentiality. At some point
(though) everyone has to come out of
the closet and say, ‘Yes I am’ (a person
applying for the position).”
Group acts as support
base for black engineers
By Arlene Wilson
Contributing Writer
A support group of a different kind
is one way to describe the National
Society of Black Engineers. This
organization is not only present on
campus, but practically all over the
world. It is also the largest student-run
organization in the United States.
This organization is initially meant
for engineers of the Speed School, but
expands its membership to students of
any field of study. "Anyone who will
cater to the objective,” is how Presi-dent
Angela Coleman described the
membership.
Approximately 130 African-
American students attend the Speed
School although only 30-35 are
members of the National Society of
Black Engineers.
Co-chair Wanda Ramsey stated,
“In my eyes, this organization
represents a support base.”
Brenda Hart, advisor to minority
and women engineer students, told
Ramsey and Coleman both about this
program. "Hart encouraged me to
become a member because it (the
organization) offers a great amount of
support, and its easy to get to know
others because it is such a small
number of students,” Ramsey said.
“Hart recommended this as a nice
organization,” Coleman said. “It will
help you. It'll pull you through tough
times."
Not only is this organization big on
support, but it is involved in commu-nity
services. For example, members
participated in a Speed School High
School Outreach Day Nov. Id. About
50 students, mostly minority, toured
the Speed School and campus while
getting advised on college courses.
Members also participate in study
groups and tutoring programs. Some
members become tutors for young
students usually between the ages of
seven and ten.
For the past nine years, the groups
has hosted the social Ms. Black U of L
Pageant. The next pageant will be held
March 1995. “This pageant involves
more of the campus," Coleman said.
“The winner helps with the commu-nity
work and other activities, and
becomes a representative for the
organization.” Anyone interested
should contact Danielle Epps at 775-
6019 for application and contest
details.
“This is an organization that will
definitely benefit African-American
engineers. It encourages students, and
gives them a boost,” Coleman said.
“You can meet others like you. You
can get good job offers, as well as co-op,
and leadership skills."

SO WHAT'S THE
DEAL WITH 1
1 THE STUDENT DIRECTORY?
As you might remember, SGA was unable to produce a student
directory for the 93-94 school year. The reason for this was beyond
our control as the company who was supposed to print it went out
of business. Unfortunately this created a domino effect. Due to
loose ends left by last years directory, we unable to find a company
who could successfully orchestrated printing a directory this year.
Therefore, rather than to push a bad situation, we decided to sit this
year out and look for ways to improve next year's
directory. BUT DON'T WORRY,
WE WOULDN'T JUST LEAVE YOU
HANGING ALL YEAR! As of January 2
the currant student directory will
be on line for the 5555 operators.
So when you call, you
will have access to
all the current
numbers on campus.

then they're hot, like somebody justput
them in there."
But students should be aware that
caffeine isn’t as harmlessas it may seem.
According to the book Listen to your
Body, by Ellen Michaud, Lily L. Anastas
and the editors of Prevention magazine,
caffeine is just as dangerous and habit-forming
as alcohol. In the book, doctors
list several side effects of overuse of
caffeine. These include nervousness,
chapped lips, headaches, breast pains,
eye twitching, flushing, insomnia, pal-pitations,
restless legs, trembling, ulcers
and urination difficulties.
The most common of the side effects
from caffeine abuse arc the headaches.
These headaches have been described as
“cluster headaches" by many doctors
and usually last anywhere from half an
hour to three hours. They have been
described by many people as “sharp,
dagger-like" pains and most commonly
occur in men.
H. Randall Hicks wrote in Listen to
your Body that some people turn to
caffeine to deal with the stress of work
or school. “Too much caffeine can defi-nitely
be a problem,"Hicks wrote. “Ha-bitual
coffee or cola drinkers usually
appear much more nervous than people
who are only occasional caffeine us-ers.”
While most students drink colas or
coffee to stay awake, Hicks advises
people to avoid caffeine late in the day.
“Even one cup after dinner can keep
some people up for the late-late show,"
he wrote. Hicks said that one cup after
dinner every day may eventually lead to
several cups after dinner every day. But
some students throw caution to the wind.
“Is there really such a thing as too
much caffeine?," said junior Stephen
Walker. “I thrive on Jolt. It’s the best,
even when it’s not finals time. Double
the caffeine, you know. I’ve tried all of
it; the ‘White Crosses’, the Mini Thins,
No Doze."
The doctors in Listen to your Body
also suggest that a possible reason some
women suffer from fibrocystic disease
is because of overuse of caffeine.
Fibrocystic disease is a common disease
of the female breast which results in the
formation of cysts that eventually cause
breasts to be very lumpy. Some doctors
believe fibrocystic disease sometimes
leads tobreast cancer. The Cancer Com-mittee
of the American Pathologists say
that only a small percentage of women
with fibrocysticdisease actuallydevelop
breast cancer.
John Phillips of Listen to Your Body
says some people may also experience
heart palpitations as a result of caffeine
abuse. “It’s really not a cause for con-cern,
but is discomforting and worri-some
to a lot of people."
Trembling and a twitching of the
nerve in the eye-lid are often signs of
caffeine withdrawal.
You say insomnia, eye-twitching and
nervousness arc a small price to pay for
a passing grade on your history final?
The doctors in Listen to your Body say
that the most severe side effect of caf-feine
abuse is ulcers. They say that caf-feine
definitely plays arole in determin-ing
who gets ulcers. The acids in caf-feine,
especially in colas, cause an “in-flammation
that destroys the protective
layer of mucous in the stomach and
leaves it open to the ravage ofacids," the
book said.
While caffeine is commonly used as
an “upper," some people still find other
ways to handle all-night study sessions
for finals. In fact, employees at two of
the local PcpTab Dict/Alert Centers,
which arc popular for the sale of caffeine
pillsand amphetamines, say that the sale
of their caffeine pills hasn’t increased.
They said it usually doesn’t increase
during final exam time.
“It’s all about time management,”
said junior l.ara Wheatley. “You don’t
really need caffeine, that’s just psycho-logical.
The only thing you need is the
ability to manage your time."

An agreement reached by the Uni-versity
of Louisville’s Speed Scientific
School and Murray State University will
enable some Murray students to receive
engineering degrees from U of L’s ac-credited
programs.
MSU students who complete certain
coursework and earn a four-year
bachelor’s degree in engineering phys-ics
will be eligible for acceptance into U
of L’s engineering school as early as the
1995 summer semester.
The agreement also allows Murray
graduates to take their cnginccr-in-train-ing
examinations as first-semester se-niors
at U of L. The exam timing is
important because graduates from any
engineering program must have at least
four years of work experience after pass-ing
the EIT exam before they can be-come
licensed or registered engineers.

852-6281 or Joe Hedges at MSU, 762-

Survey to improve
student e-mail service
When the idea for student e-mail ac-counts
was first introduced at The Uni-versity
of Louisville, Information Tech-nology
hoped they could get 4(MK) stu-dent
e-mail accounts. They now have
approximately 6000 accounts. From
where they’restanding, e-mail has been
a success, but they don’t know what the
students think. And, without the input
from students. Information Technology
can’t improve what students don’t like
about e-mail.

J.B. Speed Art Museum gives guests
a nostalgic glimpse of the holidays
By C hristopher W. Gravatte
Staff Writer
In celebration ofthe holiday season,
the J.B. Speed Art Museum has erected
a Christmas tree in its front lobby. Mea-suring
over 10 feet high, the tree is
decorated tastefully and traditionally,
with lights and ribbons. Under the tree is
an image that may evoke a feeling of
nostalgia in some of the Museum’s pa-trons.
Instead of the “Mighty Morphin’
Power Ranger" toys and Nintendo games
that will be found under the trees of
many modern homes, the tree at the
Speed towers over a number of antique
games, dolls and Teddy Bears.
Many of the toys are from the
museum’s permanent collection, while
others were lent to the Speed from pri-vate
collections.
“The dolls arc part of the permanent
collection,” said Valloric Henderson,
exhibition coordinator. “They were do-nated
by Mrs. Charles Allen Jr. in the
60s. The bears were lent to us by Wil-liam
and Mary Furnish. Their toy col-lection
is fairly well known in Louis-ville."
The Teddy Bears date from around
the first three decades of the 20th cen-tury.
They were originally owned by
Evelyn Lovell, a Versailles collector.
To accompany the tree and the toys,
there will be a short narrative on the
story of the Teddy Bear. According to
the story, the original "Teddy Bear" was
created by Clifford Berryman, a politi-cal
cartoonist for The Washington Post.
In 1902, Berryman drew President
Thcadorc Roosevelt after the President,
an avid hunter, refused to shoot a hear
cuh. Soon toy manufacturers began
making toy bear cubs.
“Dr. Furnish made a very good point
in that the majority of the bears wc are
showing have held their popularity with
children and collectors for so many years,
they arc now being reissued in a second
generation of Teddy Bears by Stciff (a
German manufacturer).” Henderson
said.

Actress and director turn to personal experience for Steel Magnolias
By Ann kalayil
Staff Writer
Director Trudy Wheeler and actress
Julie Dingman have a personal connee
tion to the play Steel Magnolias, which
the University of Louisville theatre de-partment
will produce Dec. 8-11. I’he
play is not just about friendships, but
how friendships help out in coping w ith
the effects of diabetes. Both women
have parents with the disease.
"The leading character, Shelby, has
been diagnosed with juvenile diabetes,
and my mother has adult diabetes."
Wheeler said. "St) I know about the
disease because of the research I have
done to learn about my mother’s ill-ness.”
Dingman. who plays Shelby, says
that she too knows much about its ef-fects
because of her father's diagnosis.
My father has had diabetes since I
was young." said Dingman, a first year
graduate student. "I sec how it tears your
body apart. It’s been anongoing process
dealing w ith it through the play, and in
one scene in particular where I have a
diabetic low. I was worried I wouldn’t
be able to do it right.”
Wheeler decided to produce this play
because of the connections to her own
lifc.
“The fact that the play has an all-woman
cast was one of the reason’s I
wanted to do this,” said Wheeler. “This
particular play has six strong female
roles. Also, my motherwasa hairdresser
in a beauty shop. 1 grew up there since I
was in the sth grade."
Steel Magnolias, written by Robert
Marling, takes place in a Northern Loui-siana
beauty shop. It’s primarily about
the lives of six women who gather every
Saturday morning to get their hair done.
The women build long-standing friend-ships
and rely on support from one an-other
to deal with their problems.
Auditions for this play resulted in the
best turnouts ever for the theatre depart-ment,
Wheeler said. Wheeler attributes
this to the exposure that the movie ver-sion
of the story generated.
“It is well-known because of the
movie that came out about a few years
hack,” Wheeler said. "We had about 50
womenaudition for the sixroles, and not
just from the University.”
In fact,the women chosen for the role
of Claree will be played by Carol Shirley,
who is not part of the department.
“She has no connection to U of L at
all,” Wheeler said. “She found out about
the auditions through an ad in a paper.
This is really excitingbecause we should
serve the greaterLouisville area and not
just our community.”
Donctta Rdqy, who plays Truvy, the
owner of the salon, said this play is a
different experience because she had to
learn how to wash and set hair and to
give manicures while saying her lines.
“I had to take classes at Hair Illusions
that were very intensive,” said Riley, a
first year graduate student. "Normally,
you can just learn your lines, but this was
a real challenge. This was really differ-ent
for me because I am a more natural
person."
Riley said that learning the secretsof
hair care helped her connect with Truvy.
“1 caught the essence ofthe character
by learning all of this,” she said. “She
believes all of life is beauty, and 1 can
play her better because I understand
who she is.”
Wheelersaidsheunderstoodthechal-lenges
that Riley faced. "She had to
learn to do hair well because the charac-ter
has to meet several appointments.
She had to have that hair finished by the
time she said particular lines,” she said.
The set was also challenging because
they actually wash hair, meaning they
needed running water on stage. Wheeler
said that the stage has many props and
products that go with a beauty salon that
also add to the hectic space.
“I would have rather have had the
open space of the Thrust theatre,” she
said. "But with all the mechanics in-volved,
the Playhouse was chosen.”
The rest of the cast is rounded out by
former student Ann Bean, who plays
M'Lynn, Shelby’smother; senior Natalie
Harris, who plays Annclle; and second
year graduate student Alice Lentz, who
plays Ouiser.
All performances are at the Play-house
at 8 p.m., except the Saturday
matinee, which is at 3 p.m. Tickets for
students and senior citizens are $5.50
and general admission is $6.50. For ticket
information, call the box office at 852-
6814.

Music students celebrate the season with holiday concert
By Scott Mclntosh
Staff Writer
Holiday cheer will be spread
through the campus as the School of
Music presents its annual holiday
concert, performed by the University
Chorus, the University Orchestra and
the Collegiate Corral.
The Chorus and Orchestra, under
the direction of Kim Lloyd, and the
Collegiate Corral, under the direction
of Frank Heller, will perform Francis
Poulenc's "Gloria" with English
subtitles by Hugh Ross. The piece is
for soprano solo, mixed choruses and
orchestra.
The first half of the program
consists of a brass ensemble, opening
with a trumpet ensemble w hich flows
into the chorus’ rendition of Andrea
Gabriclli's "Magnificat,” followed by
a trombone and tuba ensemble.
Following a brief intermission, the
choir will perform the highlight of the
piogram, “Gloria,” featuring soprano
soloist Ixtitia Lc Master. Lc Master is
a sophomore music major.
Poulenc’s "Gloria” includes the
title work, "Laudamus Te” (We Praise
Thee), “Domine Deus” (Lord Most
High, Lord God), “Domine Fili
Unigcnitc” (Hail Oh Son of God Only
Begotten One), "Domine Deus. Agnus
Dei” (Holy Lord Most High, Lamb of
God), and “Qui Scdes Ad Dextcram
Patris” (Thou Enthroned on High at
God’s Right Hand).
Kim Lloyd, in her first year at the
university, feels that "the program is a
rather difficult piece for students.”
Lloyd, fresh from receiving her
doctorate at the University of Minne-sota,
brings with her some techniques
to help students cope with the stresses
of performances. She uses the
rclaxational exercise of group massage
to reduce the tensions caused by
frustrating pieces.
Don Scott Carpenter, a senior
music major and staff accompanist for
the University Chorus, said the
methods work. “These are new and
invigorating ideas,” Carpenter said.
"Ms. Lloyd is positive and upbeat.”
Lloyd said believes her students are
up to the difficult challenges posed by
the performance.
“As at any other school, we have
students with a high level of ability,
and then students with average
abilities,” she said. “When you mix
the two together, hopefully you will
create a good end product.”
Jennifer Gerding, a senior music
major, is part of the Collegiate Corral.
She has been with the University
Chorus for seven semesters.
“In the past we haven't done a lot
of performances with the Orchestra,”
Gerding said. "Past pieces weren’t
written for a choir and an orchestra.
So in that aspect, this performance is
different.”
Gerding has been with the Colle-giate
Corral for three semesters now.

Columnist wants to keep on rolling on the information superhighway
By Paige
Brooks
Staff
Columnist
One night last week I came home
after work, ready to sprawl in front of the
TV and think about nothing.
I approached the living room, notic-ing
my grandmother perchcdon the edge
of the loveseat with cigarette in hand,
lemonade at her side, and a perplexing
look on her distressed face.
“Paige,” she said. “What’s this I hear
about pornography on the Internet?”
“Where? On the news?” I asked. Just
then I remembered seeing a commercial
for the news series.
“Yeah, isn’t that the computer thing
you worked on for Breeders’ Cup?” she
asked, wondering why her granddaugh-ter
dealt with something that advertised
pornography.
Taking a deep breath, I quickly tried
to gather my thoughts as I sat down next
to her preparing for the discussion.
I began by telling her what any of us
who have had a communication class
have heard. “The media doesn't tell us
what to think but rather what to think
about.”
“You have to keep this in focus,” I
told her. “Remember you’re getting the
story from their perspective.”
Although she agreed with me and
supported this idea, I continued the dis-cussion
with more positive aspects of
the Internet.
The Internet is, in my opinion at least,
thecurrcnt “wave of the future.” It makes
it possible to interact with specialists in
a specific field of interest. It allows you
to interact with people from literally
around the world at the touch of a key. It
is also anew medium for the media.
The conversation lasted 30-45 min-

Aerosmith in concert: These
guys really deliver the goods
By Jodi Heintz
Staff Critic
No one can get away with as
much movin’ and shakin’, pel-vic-
grindin’,self-gropin’, dancin’
around and foot stompin’ as
Steven Tyler and still look good.
No one can electrify a stage with
their presence alone like Steven
Tyler. And no one looks as good
as Steven Tyler after 24 years of
rocking and rolling.
With a black tear painted on
the outer corner of his right eye,
"Phuck it” painted in his lower
abdominal area and histrademark
tight pantsand flowingshirt, Tyler
gave the audience a real show.
The sold-out concert, which
took place Dec. 4, also entailed
the great playing of Joe Perry,
Tom Hamilton, Brad Whitford
and Joey Kramer. The most en-joyable
aspect of the concert was
that Aeorsmith was true to its
music. Every song reflected the
sound fans love to hear on
Aerosmith’s albums.
That included their 1970s hits
as well as their latest releases.
Highlights of the show included
Aerosmith’s classics “Sweet
Emotion," “Dream On” and
“Walk This Way.”
The audience was especially
receptive to “Dude (Looks Like a
Lady)" and “Janie’s Got a Gun.”
Tyler's voice never ceased to
amaze the audience with the high-pitched,
vocal chord-tearing

the fall of 1993. With the auditions, a
Stronger group of singers was created.
"After the split into two different
groups, the level of talent of the Corral
has raised,” Gerding said. “It is an
elite group.”
The University Chorus, on the
other hand, does not require auditions
and is open to any student in the
university community, not just music
majors.
This year’s program includes
approximately 175 students. The
event, on Sunday, Dec. 11 in the
School of Music’s North Recital Hall,
is free and open to the general public.

utes. I assumed that she understood that
the Internet is anew technology which
still has some kinks to work out, just like
anything else. Overall, the good of the
Internet greatly outweighs the bad.
By the end of the weekend I had
forgotten about the conversation. Then I
walked into my news writing class on
Nov. 6 (this is the class that covered the
‘94 Breeders'Cup live over the Internet).
Hugh Finn, my instructor, was introduc-ing
a guest speaker from the 32 WLKY
News Room, Steve Sabato.
In the course of the discussion, I was
reminded of the discussion I’d had with
my grandmother when Sabato brought
up this series.
He said they had done an investiga-tion
on the possibility of pornography
on-line. To make a long story short,they
signed on, as a fictitious 13-year-old
boy, to a page titled something along the
lines of “Older Men Seeking Younger
Men (or Boys).’’ Through their com-puter
conversations, they set up a meet-ing
time and place. Once the older man
arrived, 32 WLKY exposed the situa-tion.
Unfortunately I never had the oppor-tunity
to see the scries, but knowing how
it affected my grandmother and some of
what the Internet has to offer, I became
quickly agitated.
Asa continuous flow of questions
entered my mind I raised my hand to
comment on the topic. I asked him if
they had put any positive aspects of the
Internet into the story or if they said
anything about how few of these “bad"
pages there are.
“No,” he replied.
I continued, “I by no means approve
of this misuse of the Internet, but since it
is a relatively new technology, I do not
think the first thing they (the general
public) hear about it should be these
kinds of stories which may deter them
from learning what the Internet has to
offer.”
After providing a statement which
changed the subject, he went on to an-other
student’s comment, ending my
direction of the discussion but not my
opinion of the Internet.
It is my perception that people should
take an active interest in utilizing the
Internet, keeping in mind what is avail-able
and deterring their children away
from filth.
To sum things up I will usemy favor-ite
analogy, as told to me by Hugh Finn.
The Internet is kind of like a book-store.
Anyone is allowed in to browse
through the shclvcsofhundrcdsof books
with an extremely wide range of topics,
and it is up to them to filter the trash from
what is worthwhile.
sounds that came from his “pouty”
mouth. Every time he strained his voice
to reach higher pitches and decibels, the
crowd responded enthusiastically.
The most dramatic, emotional high
came with “Livin’ on the Edge” during
the band's encore presentation. Tyler hit
fevered pitches beautifully and ended
the song hunched over a single light,
creating emotionally-moving shadows.
The only lull came when Perry per-formed
a couple of blues numbers with
some excellent guitar solos. It seemed
like a lull simply because Tyler moved
away from center stage to play the har-monica
and turn the spotlight over to
Perry.
Bands have increased ticket prices
over the last few years, arguably com-pensating
with high-tech gimmicks like
elaborate stages and lighting. What was
refreshing about Aerosmith (whose
ticket prices were $22.50 and $27.50)
was that the audience was given two
hours of real entertainment, not gim-micks.
Perry’s solos and Tyler’s never-failing,
wailing voice were right on the
money.
The opening band, Jackyl, had some
hard-hitting rock and roll numbers but
failed miserably in the end to win this
reviewer over. The raunchy and raucous
lead singer Jesse James Dupree brought
his infamous chainsaw act to the stage
once again, sawing a stool in half and
trying to smash it to bits. After several
failed attempts to break the stool in half
by repeatedly throwing the chair on the
ground, Dupree threw it against the
band’s sound equipment a few times
with success. Screams of righteousness
came from thecrowd—obviously some
found it amusing.

Historical Perspective
Important Dates
1519 Hermri Cortds, the Spanish conquistador, and a group of
Spaniards arrived in the region that is now Mexico.
1521 Cortds, with the support of thousands of Indian allies,
seized the Aztec capital city, TenochtitlAn, and the empire

that eventually resulted in Mexican independence from
Spain in 1821.
1836 Mexico’s President Santa Anna and his troops defeated

1845 The United States annexed Texas, which had declared
itself independent from Mexico in 1836. This was one key
event leading to the to the Mexican-American War.
1846 On May 13, 1846, the United States declared war on
Mexico and the Mexican-American War began.
1848 The United States and Mexico signed the Treaty of
Guadalupe Hidalgo, which ended the Mexican-American
War. Mexico lost nearly one-third of its territory, and the
United States acquired most of the territory that comprises
the southwestern states.
1853 James Gadsden, representing the United States, purchased
from Mexico 45, 532 square miles of additional land,
which was rich in copper, and opened a railroad route.

provisions of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, led a
scries of rebellions against Anglo-Americans in the Lower
Rio Grande Valley of South Texas.
1862 On May 5, 1862, French forces that had invaded Mexico
were defeated at Puebla by Mexican forces led by Ignacio
Zaragosa, a Texas Mexican. May 5 (Cinco de Mayo) is an
importantholiday observed by Mexican Americans.
1877 The El Paso salt War occurred, in which Mexicans
organized and rebelled against Anglos because of a
dispute over rights to salt beds.
1910 A revolution starting in Mexico caused thousands of
Mexicans to immigrate to the United States looking for
jobs and toescape political turmoil and persecution.
1924 Congress established the Border Patrol to monitor traffic
across the Mexican-U.S. border. This border had
previously been primarily open.
1929 The League of United Latin American Citizens was
formed in Harlingen, Texas. Like other earlier Mexican-
American civil rights organizations, the League stressed
U.S. citizenship and assimilation.
1929-35 Thousands of Mexican immigrants and their families
were repatriated to Mexico, most without legal
proceedings.
1942 The United States and Mexico made an agreement that
authorized Mexicans to work temporarily in the United
States. This project is known as the bracero program.
1943 The anti-Mexican “zoot-suit” riots occurred in Los
Angeles during the summer of 1943.
1954 The U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service began
“Operation Wetback,” a massive program to deport
illegal Mexican immigrants to Mexico.
1965 A grape strike led by C6sar Chavez and the United Farm
Workers Association began in Delano, California, a town
in the San Joaquin Valley.
Rodolfo “Corky” Gonzales formed the Crusade for
Justice in Denver. This importantcivil rights

After long road trip, Cardinals return home to beat Western Carolina
By I -me Gold
Stall Writer
Ihc Uni
vcrsity of
Louisville
men’s basket
ball team
played the
first four
games of the
season on the
road without much success. The Cardi-nals
returned to the friendly confines of
freedom Hall on Dec. 5. taking their
frustrations out on Western Carolina
University
U of I used a 58-pomt first half to run
away from the < ataniounts 108-76. With
the v ictorv. I ouisvillc uped its record to
2-3, while W('l dropped to 1-3.
Louisville coach Denny Crum said
the team play edan all around good game.
■ I was real phased with the effort,"
Crum said. I thought the guys really
played hard, our shot selection was a lot
better, and our transition game w as a lot
better than it was against Michigan
Stale.'
\V( I coach Benny Decs said li of L
has a fine squad.
I ouisville is awfullv good,” Dees
said "We knew they would overpower
us inside and we really had to drive the
post I had no idea that every time wc
drove the post, it would wind up in a
three. Wc could do OK if we got them in
a half-court game, but they got a running
start in the break and wc could not get
back."
The C ardinals wasted no time in as-serting
themselves, jumping out to a 43-
21 lead at the 5:46 mark of the first half
after sophomore forward Jason
Osborne's layup. Ihe ('atamounts could
only cut the deficit to 51-33 with 1:30
left in the half. Louisville closed the halt
out with a 7-0 run to grab a 58-33 lead.
Osborne and fellow sophomore guard
DeJuan W heat led the Cardinals at inter-mission
with 13 points each, while jun-ior
guard Tick Rogers notched nine.
U of L kept the pressure on in the
second half. The closest Western Caro-lina
got was 62-38. Louisville outscored
WC’U 50-43 in the final stanza and
cruised to the victory.
One of the stars of the game was
Catamount guard Frankie King. King
tallied a game-high 41 points and 15
rebounds while single-handedly trying
to keep WCU in the game.
Crum said King is a player with all of
the tools to be great.
“He’s got all of the moves, he can
handle the ball, shcxit it from the outside,
take it inside and he can rebound,” Crum
said. “He would miss a shot then he
would go to the other side of the basket
and get the ball and put it back in. He is
a player.”
Osborne finished with 22 points and
nine rebounds, while Wheat scored a
team-high 26 points. But perhaps the
all-around star for U of L was Rogers.
He continued his superb defensive play,
notching a school-record 10 steals along
with 17 points. Rogers now has 26 steals
on the young season.
Rogers attributes the press for allow-ing
him to steal the ball.
“It was not really me, it was the guys
up front who set the traps,” Rogers said.
“When they set the trap. Western Caro-lina
had to lob the ball in. So when they
lobbed the ball in 1 was anticipating
where the ball was going. Defense is
really effort. If you can put forth the
effort, your team will have a good defen-sive
game.”
Freshman forward Samaki Walker
said the press is a big part of the Cardi-nals'
game plan.
“I think our press is good,” Walker
said. “You can attribute that a lot to Tick
Rogers because he plays excellent de-fense.
With players like that wc can
afford to press. Wc need to work on our
press because, playing teams like Ken-tuckywhere
they play so much uptempo,
you have to slow them down.”

PROFILE: JODY MARTIN
Fifth-year senior enjoyed the ups and downs
of playing basketball and volleyball for U ofL
By George Browning
Staff Writer
If you think the Pope has a busy
schedule, try getting an interview with
Jody Martin. This studenl athlete is not
only a member of Ihe Cardinal volley-ball
learn, she also volunteers her ser-vices
to head coach Bud Childers and
the women’s basketball team asagradu-atc
assistant.
“Thisscmester has been really hard,”
Martin said. “I spent half of Ihe lime
sick, and I was tired a lot, but I felt like
it paid off.I proved to myselfthat I could
accomplish everything and still survive
in the classroom.”
Marlin must have learned her solid
work ethic from Childers in her days as
a player on the basketball team. Martin
was a four-year letter winner while be-coming
one of Ihe Lady Cardinals all-time
leading scorers. Her 1,240 points
rank fourth on the career list.
“I really miss basketball,"Martin said.
“1 miss the running up and down the
court, the three-point shooting, and I
really miss the fans cheering us on.”
Martin was a two-sport athlete in
high school, playing both basketball and
volleyball. Even though she was re-cruited
by some big name programs, her
individual skills were best suited for the
hardwood.
“1 think volleyball is very fun to play,”
Martin said. “When I came out of high
school 1 got offers from Northeastern
Illinois and Kansas, but I chose basket-ball
because I'm better at it, and plus I
just like to play it more.”
After her fourth year of basketball
eligibility was up, Martin had no idea
that she would be able to continue her
collegiate career in another sport.
"They (sports information) told me
that if you arc still a student in your Fifth
year you could continue to play for an-other
sport for one season,” Martin said.
“So I figured since I played high school
volleyball, I would join U of L’s team.”
When Martin returned to school,
that’s what she did. She and Ihe rest of
the Cardinals were part of the most suc-cessful
team in Ihe Coach Don Hardin
era, and a fifth straight Metro Confer-ence
title.
“I had not played volleyballcompeti-tively
in five years,” Martin said. “So
when I joined the team I had a lot of
polishing up to due on my skills. My
high school coach never really taught us
the fundamentals, so I had to kind of
learn from that. I do think that if I would
have worked oul wilh the team this sum-mer
and worked on my individual skills,
1 could have played and contributed
more.”
The Cardinal volleyball team finished
the season with a 29-5 record, and al-though
its fifth NCAA tournament loss
was the low point, Martin feels that her
experiences in the Metro Conference
Tournament more than make up for it.
“The highlight of the season for me
was the Metro Conference tournament,”
Martin said. “We were in South Florida
and we were all confident in ourselves
and each other. We knew we were going
to win. I also loved the fan support we
had down there. A lot of people traveled
with us.”
Prior to this semester Martin suffered
a tremendous loss when her 18-year-old
brother was killed in an auto accident.
After this tragic loss Martin realized she
wanted to spend her life after college in
the medical field.
“My major isphysical education, and
my concentration is health promotions,”
Martin said. “But when I was at the
hospital and saw what the nursing staff
did for my brother, I decided that I
wanted to go to graduate school and get
my degree in either cardiac rehab or
maybe even join U of L’s nursing pro-gram,”
Whatever direction Martin takes in
the future, expect her schedule to be as
full then as it is now, whether she is
running in an athletic arena or a hospital
corridor.

College athletics capture the
true spirit of competition

Does anyone r tally care about pro-fession!
sports anymore?
Pondering this question, I could
only come up wilh one answer - yes.
I am a sports fan. I enjoy the spectacle
of the World Series, look forward to
the Super Bowl and am glued to the
television during the NBA finals.
But in the era of millionaire utility
inficldcrs and spoiled basketball play-ers
who hold (heir breath until they’re
traded, college athletics have clearly
become this sports fan’s true passion.
Major league Baseball’s well
documented “labor negotiations”
continue. Does anyone really care if the
two sides are meeting and talking or not?
Initially, I found myself taking sides in
the dispute, but I’ve come to realize that
the owners and players alike are at fault,
at least in my mind. They arc biting the
proverbial “hand that feeds them." pre-maturely
ending a baseball season that
was one of the most exciting in recent
memory.
falk about shixiting oneself in the
toot, the National Hockey Ixaguc has
chosen not to start this season. After last
year's exciting Stanley C up Playoffs,
the NHL was successfully re-establish-ing
itself in the professional sporlsarcna.
With baseball playersonstrike, the NHL.
was guaranteed unprecedented exposure.
But instead, NHL players joined their
baseball brethren at the unemployment
line. This time, however, the owners
locked the players out of training camp.
NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman be-lieves
“if things arc going well now,
doesn’t it figure that they will be going
even better in another year?” Not if the
teams aren't playing, commissioner.
I he National Basketball Association

least playing, but not without contro-versy.
Chris Webber inked a fifteen
year, $74.4 million dollar contract
last season. After garnering Rookie

one-year out clause in his contract

irreconcilable differences wilh head

for Ihe Washington Bullets. Don
Nelson has coached 2,691 games in
his NBA career, but he sadly offered
his resignation in order for the War-riors
to keep Webber and his79games

opted to trade Webber and keep

Asa student at U of L and a fan of
Cardinal sports, this has been a disap-pointing
year for me. Our basketball
season has finally started, and it seems
that whal everybody guessed is true.
The team is too young and inexperi-enced
to compete wilh most lop-notch
learns at a national level. But my disap-pointment
is not wilh Ihc players or Ihc
coaching slaff. I am disappointed in my
fellow students and fans.
I have heard nothing positive about
this year's team. Everybody is down
aboul this squad, but there is a glimmer
of hope that no one is talking aboul. We
have several talented young players in
DeJuan Wheal, Jason Osborne and
Samaki Walker. All three of these play-ers
have the potential loplay in Ihc NBA
after college. The only question is will
they be able to step up now in order to
win games for this season? Whal I sec is
an enormous opportunity for something
special lo happen here.
I see a lot in Ihc young team that
should give us reason lo be excited.
Walker is showing me every game that
he has something that Cliff Rozier never
had, namely a heart. I have yet to see
Walker pout after bad play or fail to
make it to his offensive end to help the
team. He tries every minute of every
game. Whether or not he will ever be as
good an athlete as his predecessor, he
still is a great nlayer and deserves re-start

tracts. Only ownerships’ threats of
legal action returned the players to
camp, but Willis was traded shortly
after to the Miami Heat.
The NFL has seemingly gone
about its business smoothly, but in-ternal
grumblingsarc surfacing. Play-ers
are unhappy with the current col-lective
bargaining agreement, par-ticularlythe
salary cap. The possibil-ity
of a strike sometime after this
season is not out of the question.
This brings me to college athlet-ics.
Of course, there aresome glaring
problems, including allegations of
recruiting improprieties and spoiled
athletes, but the majority of college
athletes arc competing for one rea-son:
the love of the sport.
Fan enthusiasm in the sports world
is never more evident than at a col-lege
football game on a Saturday
afternoon, whether it be the 102.501
people who pack Michigan Stadium
to watch the Wolvcrincsor the 37,(KK)
who come out to watch Ixiuisvillc at
Cardinal Stadium.
As for competition, what sports fan
docs not enjoy a Cinderella team, like
Santa Clara University, defeating pe-rennial
power Arizona in the first round
of the NCAA basketball tournament?
Obviously. I’ve mentioned the
staples of a college athletic program,
football and mcn’sbaskctball. But true
athletes, with and without scholarships,
can be found participating in swim
meets, soccer tournaments and field
hixrkey matches. These athletes truly
care. rhey enjoy the thrill of competi-tion.
They love the game.
Next time, you’re ready to empty
your savings account to attend a pro
contest, take some time to reconsider.
Go out to your alma mater and support
the soccer team or take in a womens'
basketball game. Enjoy the perfor-mance
of these athletes. At least they
care.
spcct. If Walker keeps a healthy attitude,
he can be one of the best players ever at
this institution.
Borrowing a quote from one of my
favorite movie characters who has had
his share of disappointment, “I take it
the situation is grim and the odds arc
against us. Sounds like tun." Just like
Captain Kirk and the rest of his crew, the
odds arc against us. We have a young
team, and with the losses of the big three
(Rozicr, Dwayne Morton and Greg Mi
nor) last year we don’t have much hope
of finishing even close to last season's
record. But we still have a lot going for
us in many of the young players and can
still have a good time.
For the first time in recent memory, the
team will be an underdog in many of its
games. The fans can take this as a reason
to give up, or they can give them the
support they deserve. Some ofthese guys
gave up on schools with much better
teams this season to come here, because
they saw something in U of L that they
liked. Asa university,we owe them a little
support.
I have a couple of ideas on how we
can do this. First, when at the games,
cheer for the team and wear the black
and red. Make a lot of noiseat the games.
Not just after a steal or an amazing dunk;
cheer from the moment the game begins
and remind team X that they are playing
in Freedom Hall, the home of the Cardi-nals,
and not some neutral court where
the fans don’t give a damn about who
wins as long as it’s a good game.
Second, learn the tight song. When
the band plays it, try and sing along.
Some people think the only fight song
we have is the one that keeps saying
“Hey!" Be proud of the schtx>l and sing
for your team. Finally, let the players
know you arc proud to have them at
louisvillc. These guys arc on campus
every day, so take the time to say “good
game."

Faculty survey illustrates faculty’s anger
he results of a recent Faculty Senate survey
I will not surprise anyone. The depth of faculty
tf anger and unrest expressed by the results.
U however, should shock everyone.
All 1,178 full-time faculty members received the sur-vey
through campus mail. An amazing number of them,
more than 60(), registered their opinions. Overwhelming
majoritiescondemned the actions or inaction of the U ofL
Board of Trustees and Universitypresident Donald Swain.
Huge numbers agreed that the faculty should join together
in a collective bargaining unit and that the Faculty Senate
should lead in the organization of that collective.
In fact, a whopping62.s percent of all faculty supported
both collective bargaining and putting the Faculty Senate
in charge of it. More than 80 percent responded by saying
that U of L’s next president should be an academician.
Two-thirdsof faculty agreed that recent governance changes
arc not good for the University. And 74 percent said (hat
administration has increased a disproportionate amount
relative to increases in student population and faculty
numbers.
Perhaps the most controversial questions pointed out
the "dire consequences” of a vote of no-confidence in
cither the president or the Board and then asked faculty if
the Senate should call for such a vote. Feelings among
respondents were strongest on these questions. While 45
percent agreed to the no-confidence question on the presi-dent,
54 percent agreed to it on the Board. The discrepancy
shows that many faculty are holding the Board responsible
for much administrative action.
Asking college professors to comment on administra-tors
is a lot like asking voters for their thoughts on politi-cians;
just by bringing up the questions, you invite criti-cism.
Everybody has his or her own opinion on how he or
she would run things if put in charge.
And who docs the asking influences the outcome. If a
member of the Student Senate asked a typical student for
our opinion on University administration, we would give
them an earful, not necessarily because we are that upset,
but because we would be talking to someone who repre-sents
us to the administration. We would likely give them
an extreme view on an opinion poll just to ensure that when
the results arc averaged, our views are represented.
All this qualifying aside, the faculty survey illustrates
more than just amplified views. The sheer numbers point to
a deep-rooted dissatisfaction, to genuine anger instead of
just constructive criticism.
The Board of Trustees and president will be templed to
blow off this survey. They have already declared the
questions biased. But they should look beyond the ques-tions,
ignore the specifics and think about the attitude
uncovered by the results.
The administration must open a real dialogue with the
faculty,one that concentrates not so much on particularsbut
rather on attitude. The Board must assume a leadership role
in the faculty's eyes. The faculty need to feel respected and
listened to.
The Board took a step toward this when it advocated
more meetings between the administration and the faculty
at the last Board meeting, but they must prove loan already-wounded
faculty that they arc genuine and sincere in their
efforts, ft is more important that the administration change
its processes than its goals. Perhaps the Board is finally
beginning to comprehend the level of faculty anger; we
fervently hope this is true, but only time will tell.
State report brings good news for a change
n the midst of a barrage of bad news about the
University of Louisville (shrinking funds, faculty
etc.), it is good to sec some news about U
of L that is at least somewhat positive. In a re-cently-
released survey by the Kentucky Council on Higher
Education, students who received their bachelor's degrees in
1993-94 rated the quality of instruction and other services at U
of L. Eighty-two percent of those surveyed rated their educa-tional
experience as good or excellent, something that certainly
wouldn't hurt U of L's academic reputation.
To the delight of the many UK-delractors on campus, U of
L had a higher rate of satisfaction than its counterpart in
l-exington, where 70 percent of students rated their experience
as good or excellent Itmay not be completely fair to compare the
two surveys, which were conducted separately by the two
schools and may have differed somewhat in choice ofquestions,
but U of L supporters still have the right to feel proud about the
results.
The surveys were conducted as part of an assessment of
Kentucky's higher-education system. Ihc assessment is part of
a movement by state government to analyze and hold higher-education
institutions more accountable. Among the report’s
findings are that more than one-third of college students in
Kentucky drop out or transfer within six years. It also found that
approximately 20 percent of the freshman and sophomores at
Kentucky colleges aren't ready for college math classes.
With regard to U of L, the report found that eight percent
of students at the University in 1991 were taking remedial
math; approximately 50 percent of them failed it (compared
with the state average of 38 percent). U of L also graduated
only 35 percent of students who were still in school six years
after they first enrolled, compared with the state average of
39 percent.
These figures are not cause for alarm, however. U of L's
graduation rates have long been lower than the state average,
but this is attributable to the University’sstatus as a so-called
“urban university.” Simply put, that means that it is part of
U of L's mission to educate at-risk students, certainly a
worthy goal. This causes U of L's averages in the areas of
academic performance to fall, hut this should not be looked
at as a negative. Instead, it is commendable that at-risk
students arc getting the opportunity to participate in higher
education.
Indeed, U of L is meeting the goals it set for itself: two
years ago, it set its goal for graduating students within six
years at 35 percent, which was right on target. While there is
always nxim for improvement, U of L seems to be progress-ing
in this area. This is something that Kentucky legislators
should take into consideration when studying the numbers
provided by the Council. As is usually the case with reports
of this type, the numbers tell only half the story.
Keep the true spirit of Christmas in mind
®t seems Christmas keeps becoming more about
credit cards, money, the rat race of bargain
shopping, and worrying about whether or not
you can afford gifts for everyone on your list.
Sadly enough, Christmas gets to be highly stressful, and the
joy and merriment seem to fly out the window.
I'he joy ofgiving tothose less fortunate can really bring one
back down to earth. For instance, it is amazing what a wonder-ful
feelingonc can getfrom dropping even a single dollar in the
Salvation Army bucket. Instead of walkingby, ignoring them,
and feeling like a Scrooge, drop some change in; it will make
you feel good. At least you know you’ve contributed. What
$lO or $2O is to one person may be the equivalent of a dollar
to you, and that's okay, as long as you do your part.
If money is out of the question, there arc several donation
drives going on around the campus that don’t require money
and could put you in the holiday spirit. Toys for Tots and U of
L B<X)k Bag arc just two. Drop off some toys or txxiks for
children at the Information Centers on campus, or at
several other locations listed in this issue's News Briefs
section. You could also donate your services to helping out
in a kitchen where the homeless and poor eat.
The University also has several Christmas concerts
underway that would surely add some holiday cheer to
even the most gloomy Scrooge. The Black Diamond Choir
(sec page 1 for story)and the U of L Symphony and Choir
will be performing over the weekend. Bundling up to go
hear a choir singing Christmas songs can easily put you in
Ihc Christmas mood.
Giving donations (of any kind) and Christmas concerts
are things we don't generally think ofas part of our holiday
festivities. It is a shame, really, since they can fill you with
the Christmas spirit better than anything else. They also do
double duty, letting others know you care enough to have
thought about them in giving of yourself and your time.
The Cardinal wishes everyone a safe and happy holiday!

I’ve been labeled asone of those
freaks who is graduating from col-lege
in less than four years. In my
own defense, I must say that I’m
not finishing early for love of
school, but rather because I’m sick
to death of it. Sitting in a desk and
listening to someone lecture me is
not something I enjoy. I wanted to
get it over with quickly so my life
could begin.
So, since I’m graduating in De-cember
and I won’t go through the
ceremony in May, I felt I needed
some sign ofclosure before I move
on. I entered U of L with anticipa-tion
and hope for good things to
come. I’m leaving with no bitter-ness,
just a deflated feeling. That’s
just a sign of the times, 1 suppose.
Like most students, I’ve had my
sharcof fai lures and setbacks along
the way, but overall, college has
been a positive experience for me.
It amazes me when I think about
how much I’ve grown and changed.
But still. I’m walking away with a
diploma in my hand and 1 don’t feel
prepared for what’s facing me.
I know some of my fears are
universal. No recent college grad
can feel totally confident about the
future. Not now. With the way
things look in the current job mar-ket,
I'll be lucky if I land ajob right
out of col lege. Twenty years ago, I
would have been practically guar-anteed
to find work.
And, forgive my criticism, but
graduating from U of L with a lib-eral
arts degree doesn't help. Its
reputation isn’t exactly outstanding
with employers. The thing I’ve discov-ered
about U of L is this: if you want to
get an education, you have to make it
happen. No one here will hold your
hand along the way. They’ll throw a
million obstacles in your path and it’s
up to you, the lowly student, to hurl
them.
Because it’s so difficult to get
through school these days, I’ve devel-oped
my own inane little conspiracy
theory about Them you know, Big
Brother, the Establishment the
people who run this place. Big Brother
is responsible the Big Lie. They
make you thurk you’re here to prepare
for a career, but college is really just a
place they keep you for four years(five
or six, in many cases) so the job market
won’t be flooded with smart-mouthed
18-year-olds fresh out of high school.
And at large institutions like U of L,
they make it purposefully difficult to
get through school so that a number of
people will get fed up and drop out.
That’s how they weed out the “unde-sirables.”
But in the midst of this diatribe, I
have to pay tribute to those professors
who’ve made an impact on me. A
desire to deal with students on a per-sonal
level seems uncharacteristic of
professors at large schools, so the truly
dedicated deserve their props. Robert
Hanke (communication), Phil
Laemmle (political science), Elaine
Wise (English), Andrew Hinton (cre-ative
writing), Benjamin Harrison (his-tory)
and Cardinal adviser Bob
Schulman have all made my time at U
of Lmorc worthwhile with their stimu-lating
lecturesand good advice. Thanks
to you all.
So that’s about it. I feel like I should
leave you, Gentle Reader, with some
profound words of wisdom. I don’t
have any. I’m sure I’ve made an ass of
myself by publishing my Big Lie
theory. I have no grounds for proof,
but I at least learned to amuse myself
with stuff like that in college. Perhaps
that’s the best way to survive those
four (or maybe five) years.

Reader calls for
animal rights forum
Dear Mr. Fultz,
I applaud The Louisville Cardinal
for exploring the issue of animals in
research. While a single article cannot
address the complexity of this moral
issue, it is curious that in an article
entitled “Research vs. Rights: Is use of
animals for medical research ethical?”
the writer would not challenge Dr.
Butterfield’s position that “he stops
short of getting into a debate about the
ethics of it.” Slopping short of ethical
debate is precisely what has allowed
for the perpetuation of injustices
throughout history. It is only through
the examination of this very difficult
issue that animals might have a chance
to stop paying the price for our ill-nesses
and imperfections.
I welcome the suggestion of the
editorial writer that serious discussion
by both researchers and activists along
with other interested parties is sorely
needed. For this reason, I urge the uni-versity
to sponsor a forum for this pur-pose.
I would be happy to participate
and to assist in making arrangements
for such a forum.
Sincerely,
Andrea Reed
Mid-Central Coordinator, The Fund For
Animals Inc.
In defense of
conservatism
Dear Editor,
I amastonished by the commentary
of Mr. Scott Mclntosh in the Nov. 17
paper. He tried to explain the move-ment
of the country to the right as
being caused bv anti-incumbencv. the
Christian coalition and the lack of de-liverance
of Clinton’s liberal issues.
Isn’t this a little too easy? Maybe,
Mr. Mclntosh is trying to desperately
explain hisand the liberalsdilemma by
stereotyping and labeling such organi-zations
as the Christian coalition as
being Nazis. Does Mr. Mclntosh be-lieve
Nazism is part of the Christian
lifestyle? Free your mind, Mr. Mcln-tosh!
Aren’t you supposed to be open
minded to all views and not stereotype
a huge significant movement to the
right as being led by an “elite” group?
It soundsto me that Mr. Mclntosh is
upset and cannot understand why he
was caught with his pants around his
ankles. Maybe, instead of questioning
the conservative right (ultraconserva-tive,
whatever) and falsely stereotyp-

Don’t dismiss
Abramson so easily
Dear Editor:
I strongly disagree with your edito-rial
on the Presidential search. It would
be foolish to exclude anyone, including
Mayor Abramson, on the grounds you
allege. First, a Ph.D. in itself is no guar-antee
of competence (one should hardly
have to point that out to college stu-dents).
Prior administrative experience
in academe may or may not be a plus; it
depends on what a candidate learned
from that experience. I once served un-der
a tyrant (at another university of
course) with decades of academic expe-rience
under his belt. It only made him a
more competent tyrant.
We ought to be more interested in
what acandidate will bring to U of L. We
need to assess how each candidate can
best address our problems. Among other
things we need anew president who can
articulate a positive vision for the uni-versity,
heal the rifts between faculty
and administration, protect tenure and
academic freedom, be a fund raiser for
ACADEMIC programs, salaries and
scholarships, promote U of L's interests
with legislators, and maybe most of all,
bring some hope and enthusiasm tocam-pus.
Is Mayor Abramson the best candi-date?
I haven’t a clue. A political back-ground
in which one has had to learn to
listen and negotiate isn't a negative at-tribute!
Would the mayor stay around if
appointed? A good question; if he's a
finalist he should be asked. Frankly I've
always wanted candidates who aspire to
higher office; it gives them incentive to
do a good job!
In any event, the one thing we should
not do is eliminate good candidates us-ing
bad criteria.

Sexual harassment charges
against Dean are disputed
By Paul Fultz
Staff Writer
U of L School of Music Dean Herbert
Kocrselman, accused by a former secretary of
sexual harassment, responded to the allegations
on Dec. 6, saying that they are completely untrue.
Koersclman's statements were backed up by
David White, the Assistant Directorof Personnel
at Sam Houston Stale University, Koersclman's
former school.
In the Dec. 1 issue. The Louisville Cardinal
reported that Rebecca Rhynard, a former secre-tary
of Koersclman's at Sam Houston, made
allegations of sexual harassment against him in a
sworn statement. In the statement. Rhynard said
she reported the harassment to White. But White,
who was not contacted by the Cardinal for the
Dec. 1 article, said in a Dec. 6 telephone inter-view
that Rhynard never reported the allegations
to him.
“She reported a work problem to me,” White
said. “Kocrselman had approached her about her
performance on the job. She was distraught and
crying and said she was going to quit. She said
Koerselman was trying to get rid ofher. I called
(Koerselman) and said ‘are you trying to fire
her?' He said no, I'm trying to work it out. She
agreed to work out the problem.”
This differs from the account given by
Rhynard, who said White called Koerselman and
reprimanded him by telephone in her presence.
White said that neither Rhynard nor anyone else
ever reported any allegations oif sexual harass-ment
against Koerselman to the school.
Koerselman was the chair of Sam Houston’s
musiedepartmentfrom 1982 to 1992. He came to
“They are totally without
grounds, totally false.”
School of Music Dean
Herbert Koerselman
U of L in the fall of 1992.
Rhynard was previously tnarried to Maurice
Rhynard, a former Sam Houston music professor
who sued Koerselman and the University, alleg-ing
that he had been improperly denied tenure.
After several years of litigation, the case was
dismissed by the Texas Court of Appeals this
past March. The sexual harassment charges were
not part of the testimony in that case. They were
made in an affidavit attested to by Lu Anna
Berringer, a notary public in the state of Texas,
on July, 28,1994. They were not, as reported by
the Cardinal on Dec. 1, “sworn to the state of
Texas.” The affidavit was not filed with any
official body.
When Kocrselman was contacted by the Car-dinal
by phone on Nov. 29 to respond to the
allegations, he said he was unaware of them. He
reiterated in a Dec. 6 interview that he was
unaware of the allegations at that time and there-fore
could not respond to them. He said the
allegations are untrue.
“They are totally without grounds, totally
false,” Koerselman said. “She is the (ex-)wife of
a faculty member who was deniedtenure. During
all the litigation, this was never brought up. The
affidavit is already suspicious because it was
done July 28, 1994.”
Rebecca Rhynard’s attorney, Anne Chrane of
Huntsville, Texas, said Dec. 7 that her client
stands by her statements. She said the allegations
were not brought forth during the testimony in
the tenure case because the case was never brought
to trial. Koerselman sought, and eventually won,
an injunction from the courts on the grounds of
immunity.
“At the injunction hearing, that particular
evidence was not something I fell was necessary
to the injunction hearing,” Chrane said. "It was
for the jury trial. It was to go to motivation as to
why Koerselman acted the way he did. Unfortu-nately,
the case never went to trial.”
Koerselman, contacted by phone by The Car-dinal
on Dec. 7 and asked if he had any response
to Chrane's statement, once again stressed his
innocence. “The allegations arc totally false and
unfounded,” he said.
Survey says ...
Faculty voice concerns over administration
By Jodi Helntz
Staff Writer
The results ofa newly-released faculty survey
show a clear discontent among full-time faculty
concerning the Board of Trustees and President
Donald Swain, as well as an interest in collective
bargaining. The Faculty Senate released results
of the survey, conducted by the Senate’s Plan-ning
Committee, at its Dec. 7 meeting.
The survey was sent to all 1,178 full-time
faculty, and over 600 faculty have responded.
(Tabulated results include surveys received by
Dec. 2, atotal 0f587respondents.) Rick Feldhoff,
Planning Committee chair, pointed out that when
the last survey was conducted two years ago only
about 10 percent of the faculty responded.
“I am very impressed by a return of 600
respondents,” Faculty Senate Chair Richard
Stremcl said. “So the faculty clearly wanted to
say something and now it is up to the Senate to do
something with it.”
The survey distinguished between facultyfrom
the Belknap and Health Sciences Campus(HSC),
faculty rank, primary work area and years at U of
L. Faculty were asked to express their views on
a scale of one to nine (one being strongly disagree
and nine being strongly agree, five being neu-tral),
about the following seven issues:
• Exploring collective bargaining
• That the Faculty Sen-ate
provide leadership
to explore collective
bargaining options
• That the next Presi-dent
should be an aca-demician
• Views surrounding
the recent Redbook
changes implemented
by the Board of Trust-ees
• That the Faculty Sen-ate
should take a vote
ofno-confidence in the
President
• That the Faculty Sen-ate
should take a vote
of no-confidence in the
Board of Trustees
Results from the sur-vey
were sent to the
Board on Dec. 6, but
Feldhoff had not heard any response as of the
afternoon of Wednesday, Dec. 7.
Regarding the vote of no-confidence for the
President, almost 40 percent of the Belknap
faculty and about 30 percent of the HSC faculty
strongly agreed. Those figures jumped almost 10
percent for each group concerning a vote of no-confidence
for the Board.
Feldhoff said that based on comments some
respondents attached to their survey and the
results of the survey itself, there is a message
being sent.

Caffeine helps students
struggle through finals
By Amy Huffman
Staff Writer
Have you ever noticed your hands invol-untary
trembling just before you gave a
speech? Or right before a job interview?
Have you ever experienced the same invol-untary
trembling if you skipped your regu-lar
cup of coffee in the morning? Maybe
you’ve had an annoying eye-twitch and
chalked it up to stress. Or maybe you’ve
found yourselfstaring at the red light, sym-bolizing
emptiness on the cola machine,
swearing that your headache would disap-pear
if you just had a Mountain Dew.
If you fit any ofthe above descriptions, It
may not be just stress or nervousness—you
may be addicted to caffeine. With final ex-ams
right around the comer, many students
may feel the need to turn to caffeine pills,
coffee or soft drinks to make it through all-night
study sessions.
“I've already noticed that the coke ma-chines
arc out ofMountain Dew,” said sopho-more
Andy Reynolds. “And if you actually

UK drops KHEAA, may hurt U of L aid
By Anthony Perkinson
Staff Writer
A recent decision by the University of
Kentucky could have widespread effects at
schools throughout the state, including the
University of Louisville. UK, along with
Morehead State University, has decided to
discontinue its use of the Kentucky Higher
Education Assistance Authority, (KHEAA),
which in the past has been the source of
millions of dollars in grants, work study
programs and teacher scholarships. Instead UK
will use the Federal Direct Student Loan
Program, (FDSLP).
The KHEAA normally distributes millions
of dollars in state financial aid to Kentucky
schools. The group collects money annually
from the federal government, banks and
students for processing loans. The money is
then used towards financial aid grants and
similar programs.
Last year the KHEAA contributed $1.7
million to state student aid. Of that $1.7
million, UK was responsible for around
$600,000, or about a third of that amount.

Choir members make spirituality part of music
By Paul Buckman
Contributing Writer
For the past 25 years, the Univer-sity
of Louisville’s Black Diamond
Choir has been singing gospel music
throughout Kentucky and Indiana.
Organized in 1969, the 30-plus
member group is composed solely of
University of Louisville students and
alumni.
Although the choir is offered at U
of L as a one-hour course, most
students do not sing to fulfill credit
requirements towards degrees, and
many alumni who previously sang in
the choir return.
Mary Cross, a U of L alumna who
works at United Parcel Service and
Sears, schedules her jobs around the
choir and is a 15-year member of the
group. “The choir is well worth my
time” Cross said. She encouraged
students to consider the one-hour
course but warned, “The course is a
positive A, but not an easy A.”
Michelle Sydnor, a U of L gradu-ate,
is an accountant at Humana and
has been in the choir for seven years.
She said that the choir gives her a
reason to praise God.
Other group members such as
Cleneida Owens, a soprano in the
choir who has been singing since
childhood, sings for the “spiritual
uplifting” that she receives from
gospel music. “Even though the choir
has gotten smaller, it’s fun. especially
when they ask you back,” Owens said.
Most choir members said that the
choir is not too time consuming.
Andre Brown, a music student at the
University, said, “The group builds
leadership qualities. I like the fellow-ship
and cohesiveness.” Brown sang
in community choirs before getting
involved with the gospel group and
has on occasion sung solo in the
choir’s concerts.
The Black Diamond Choir also
sponsors an annual food drive called
“Feed Families for Christmas," which
ran this year from Nov. 7 to Dec. 2.
This is the 14th year that the choir has
sponsored the drive, which raises
donations of food and money from

The choir uses the donated food
and money to provide Christmas
baskets to needy families in the
community.
“It’s more than a class, it’s an
experience," said Tonya Triplet, the
group’s director for the past two years.
Triplet is a graduate of Kentucky State
University and feels that the choir is
an avenue for students to come and
worship by spreading the word of
Jesus Christ through song.
Ron Jones is the assistant choir
director and aids Triplet in rehearsals.
“Gospel music is a ministry that
happens to entertain, not a music to
entertain," Jones said. Jones also said
the choir has been a positive “recruit-ment
tool” in bringing students to the
University.
The Black Diamond Choir closes
its fall season with a concert at
Bethany Baptist Church. Dec. 11. The
church is located at 2319 Taylorsville
Road and the concert begins at 7 p.m.
All concerts are free and open to the
public. For spring concert informa-tion,
listen to WHAS radio during U
of L’s sports activities between Jan.
14 and March 2 for the choir's half-time
spots, or contact the Office of
Minority Services. Any student that
wishes to join the choir, or for
booking information, contact the

Holiday season intensifies some people’s depression
By Doug Begley
Staff Writer
Ever felt a little blue? Ever felt life is
hopeless? Ever wondered what the dif-ference
is and when it has gone too far?
Clinical depression affects over 17.6
percent of American men and women of
all classes, ages and races. With the
holiday season upon us, depression can
kick into high gear. Getting help can
help alleviate those feelings of hope-lessness,
and U ofLdoes have resources
to support students.
According to Mike Mculcr of the U
of L counseling center, depression is a
varied range of symptoms and severi-ties.
“We each have ourown history,”
Mculcr said. “Think of depression as a
span from being a little sad to being
really sad, to the point you
can not function anymore
in society.“This is the range
depression can take on in
people, because each per-son
will react to his/her situ-ations
differently.
With the holiday season
upon us. depression can be
even more apparent, ac-cording
to Meuler.
“The holidays arc diffi-cult
for people to cope
with," Mculcr said. “For the
college student, what hap-pens
if mom and dad arc
divorced and mom has a
small apartment and dad is
remarried with a family of
his own, where do you go?
It can be especially trying
if this is the first Christmas
without a certain person.**
Just as each person has
different symptoms, they
also require different types
of treatment. The most im-portant
aspect of help,
Mculcr claims, is that the
depressed person talk to someone and
make the attempt to get help.
"Whoever they talk to is going to
have to help them, and together they'll
find a way out," Mculcr said. “Talking is
very helpful to healing. Males have a
very hard time doing this. Females arc
better at sitting and talking and sharing.
Two-thirds of everyone we see is fe-male;
males don't come for help often."
Meuler and many experts attribute
this lack of male sharing to the way boys
and girlsarc raised in America. Boys are
brought up to be tough and emotionless
so they can be the strong provider, the
theory goes, while women are generally
raised to be emotional and show their
feelings. Mculcr docs agree that this is
changing slightly in our culture, but he
still sees many more women than men
come in for help at U of L.
Talking is a very positive way of
getting help and settling the issue with-out
medication, but some people, statis-tically
college males in particular, try to
get help from a non-reliable source, al-cohol.
“A lot of students cope with alco-hol
because when they drink they don’t
have to think," Muclcr said.
Alcohol, being a depressant itself,
makes a person even more prone to
being depressed. So while it is a relax-ant,
it could also increase the depression
of someone drinking because of stress.
While no definitive cure for depres-sion
is available now, there are medica-tions
some take to get over depression.
Yet many doctors warn that these medi-cines
arc aids and arc not the only aspect
to helping a depressed person overcome
their problems.
"liiercarc some people who get help
from prescriptions, but I do not see it
with the people we work with,” Mueller
said. “An anti-depressant can help, but if
you abuse yourself and take alcohol,
then you are going to be in trouble.
“They try to come up with more and
more chemicals, but we are going to
have to care for ourselves. It’s the same
thing your mom always told you when
you were a little kid; if we keep pushing,
the system's going to break down. It’s
hard for us to think to that long-term
maintenance; we think today. We want
the cure to come today as well.”

SO WHAT'S THE
DEAL WITH 1
1 THE STUDENT DIRECTORY?
As you might remember, SGA was unable to produce a student
directory for the 93-94 school year. The reason for this was beyond
our control as the company who was supposed to print it went out
of business. Unfortunately this created a domino effect. Due to
loose ends left by last years directory, we unable to find a company
who could successfully orchestrated printing a directory this year.
Therefore, rather than to push a bad situation, we decided to sit this
year out and look for ways to improve next year's
directory. BUT DON'T WORRY,
WE WOULDN'T JUST LEAVE YOU
HANGING ALL YEAR! As of January 2
the currant student directory will
be on line for the 5555 operators.
So when you call, you
will have access to
all the current
numbers on campus.

then they're hot, like somebody justput
them in there."
But students should be aware that
caffeine isn’t as harmlessas it may seem.
According to the book Listen to your
Body, by Ellen Michaud, Lily L. Anastas
and the editors of Prevention magazine,
caffeine is just as dangerous and habit-forming
as alcohol. In the book, doctors
list several side effects of overuse of
caffeine. These include nervousness,
chapped lips, headaches, breast pains,
eye twitching, flushing, insomnia, pal-pitations,
restless legs, trembling, ulcers
and urination difficulties.
The most common of the side effects
from caffeine abuse arc the headaches.
These headaches have been described as
“cluster headaches" by many doctors
and usually last anywhere from half an
hour to three hours. They have been
described by many people as “sharp,
dagger-like" pains and most commonly
occur in men.
H. Randall Hicks wrote in Listen to
your Body that some people turn to
caffeine to deal with the stress of work
or school. “Too much caffeine can defi-nitely
be a problem,"Hicks wrote. “Ha-bitual
coffee or cola drinkers usually
appear much more nervous than people
who are only occasional caffeine us-ers.”
While most students drink colas or
coffee to stay awake, Hicks advises
people to avoid caffeine late in the day.
“Even one cup after dinner can keep
some people up for the late-late show,"
he wrote. Hicks said that one cup after
dinner every day may eventually lead to
several cups after dinner every day. But
some students throw caution to the wind.
“Is there really such a thing as too
much caffeine?," said junior Stephen
Walker. “I thrive on Jolt. It’s the best,
even when it’s not finals time. Double
the caffeine, you know. I’ve tried all of
it; the ‘White Crosses’, the Mini Thins,
No Doze."
The doctors in Listen to your Body
also suggest that a possible reason some
women suffer from fibrocystic disease
is because of overuse of caffeine.
Fibrocystic disease is a common disease
of the female breast which results in the
formation of cysts that eventually cause
breasts to be very lumpy. Some doctors
believe fibrocystic disease sometimes
leads tobreast cancer. The Cancer Com-mittee
of the American Pathologists say
that only a small percentage of women
with fibrocysticdisease actuallydevelop
breast cancer.
John Phillips of Listen to Your Body
says some people may also experience
heart palpitations as a result of caffeine
abuse. “It’s really not a cause for con-cern,
but is discomforting and worri-some
to a lot of people."
Trembling and a twitching of the
nerve in the eye-lid are often signs of
caffeine withdrawal.
You say insomnia, eye-twitching and
nervousness arc a small price to pay for
a passing grade on your history final?
The doctors in Listen to your Body say
that the most severe side effect of caf-feine
abuse is ulcers. They say that caf-feine
definitely plays arole in determin-ing
who gets ulcers. The acids in caf-feine,
especially in colas, cause an “in-flammation
that destroys the protective
layer of mucous in the stomach and
leaves it open to the ravage ofacids," the
book said.
While caffeine is commonly used as
an “upper," some people still find other
ways to handle all-night study sessions
for finals. In fact, employees at two of
the local PcpTab Dict/Alert Centers,
which arc popular for the sale of caffeine
pillsand amphetamines, say that the sale
of their caffeine pills hasn’t increased.
They said it usually doesn’t increase
during final exam time.
“It’s all about time management,”
said junior l.ara Wheatley. “You don’t
really need caffeine, that’s just psycho-logical.
The only thing you need is the
ability to manage your time."

“Toys for Tots” drive
asks for U of L help
For students interested in helping
those who are less fortunatethis holi-day
season, The UniversityofLouis-ville
is still collecting items for the
following organizations:
• “Toys For Tots” toy drive. Collection
ends Dec. 10.Drop-off sites for “Toys
For Tots” on the Belknap campus are:
Information Centers A and B, the
ACCESS office and the SGA office.
• Collection for the “U of L Holiday

People are encouraged to bring in
new books for children in the local
area. Drop-off sites include Hawlcy-
Cooke Booksellers, the Rare books
room in Ekstrom Library, Kornhauser

MSU and U of L to
collaborate on
engineering program
An agreement reached by the Uni-versity
of Louisville’s Speed Scientific
School and Murray State University will
enable some Murray students to receive
engineering degrees from U of L’s ac-credited
programs.
MSU students who complete certain
coursework and earn a four-year
bachelor’s degree in engineering phys-ics
will be eligible for acceptance into U
of L’s engineering school as early as the
1995 summer semester.
The agreement also allows Murray
graduates to take their cnginccr-in-train-ing
examinations as first-semester se-niors
at U of L. The exam timing is
important because graduates from any
engineering program must have at least
four years of work experience after pass-ing
the EIT exam before they can be-come
licensed or registered engineers.
For more information, call Hanley at
852-6281 or Joe Hedges at MSU, 762-

Survey to improve
student e-mail service
When the idea for student e-mail ac-counts
was first introduced at The Uni-versity
of Louisville, Information Tech-nology
hoped they could get 4(MK) stu-dent
e-mail accounts. They now have
approximately 6000 accounts. From
where they’restanding, e-mail has been
a success, but they don’t know what the
students think. And, without the input
from students. Information Technology
can’t improve what students don’t like
about e-mail.

survey and drop it off by one of the locations
listed on the bottom of the survey.

J.B. Speed Art Museum gives guests
a nostalgic glimpse of the holidays
By C hristopher W. Gravatte
Staff Writer
In celebration ofthe holiday season,
the J.B. Speed Art Museum has erected
a Christmas tree in its front lobby. Mea-suring
over 10 feet high, the tree is
decorated tastefully and traditionally,
with lights and ribbons. Under the tree is
an image that may evoke a feeling of
nostalgia in some of the Museum’s pa-trons.
Instead of the “Mighty Morphin’
Power Ranger" toys and Nintendo games
that will be found under the trees of
many modern homes, the tree at the
Speed towers over a number of antique
games, dolls and Teddy Bears.
Many of the toys are from the
museum’s permanent collection, while
others were lent to the Speed from pri-vate
collections.
“The dolls arc part of the permanent
collection,” said Valloric Henderson,
exhibition coordinator. “They were do-nated
by Mrs. Charles Allen Jr. in the
60s. The bears were lent to us by Wil-liam
and Mary Furnish. Their toy col-lection
is fairly well known in Louis-ville."
The Teddy Bears date from around
the first three decades of the 20th cen-tury.
They were originally owned by
Evelyn Lovell, a Versailles collector.
To accompany the tree and the toys,
there will be a short narrative on the
story of the Teddy Bear. According to
the story, the original "Teddy Bear" was
created by Clifford Berryman, a politi-cal
cartoonist for The Washington Post.
In 1902, Berryman drew President
Thcadorc Roosevelt after the President,
an avid hunter, refused to shoot a hear
cuh. Soon toy manufacturers began
making toy bear cubs.
“Dr. Furnish made a very good point
in that the majority of the bears wc are
showing have held their popularity with
children and collectors for so many years,
they arc now being reissued in a second
generation of Teddy Bears by Stciff (a
German manufacturer).” Henderson
said.

Actress and director turn to personal experience for Steel Magnolias
By Ann kalayil
Staff Writer
Director Trudy Wheeler and actress
Julie Dingman have a personal connee
tion to the play Steel Magnolias, which
the University of Louisville theatre de-partment
will produce Dec. 8-11. I’he
play is not just about friendships, but
how friendships help out in coping w ith
the effects of diabetes. Both women
have parents with the disease.
"The leading character, Shelby, has
been diagnosed with juvenile diabetes,
and my mother has adult diabetes."
Wheeler said. "St) I know about the
disease because of the research I have
done to learn about my mother’s ill-ness.”
Dingman. who plays Shelby, says
that she too knows much about its ef-fects
because of her father's diagnosis.
My father has had diabetes since I
was young." said Dingman, a first year
graduate student. "I sec how it tears your
body apart. It’s been anongoing process
dealing w ith it through the play, and in
one scene in particular where I have a
diabetic low. I was worried I wouldn’t
be able to do it right.”
Wheeler decided to produce this play
because of the connections to her own
lifc.
“The fact that the play has an all-woman
cast was one of the reason’s I
wanted to do this,” said Wheeler. “This
particular play has six strong female
roles. Also, my motherwasa hairdresser
in a beauty shop. 1 grew up there since I
was in the sth grade."
Steel Magnolias, written by Robert
Marling, takes place in a Northern Loui-siana
beauty shop. It’s primarily about
the lives of six women who gather every
Saturday morning to get their hair done.
The women build long-standing friend-ships
and rely on support from one an-other
to deal with their problems.
Auditions for this play resulted in the
best turnouts ever for the theatre depart-ment,
Wheeler said. Wheeler attributes
this to the exposure that the movie ver-sion
of the story generated.
“It is well-known because of the
movie that came out about a few years
hack,” Wheeler said. "We had about 50
womenaudition for the sixroles, and not
just from the University.”
In fact,the women chosen for the role
of Claree will be played by Carol Shirley,
who is not part of the department.
“She has no connection to U of L at
all,” Wheeler said. “She found out about
the auditions through an ad in a paper.
This is really excitingbecause we should
serve the greaterLouisville area and not
just our community.”
Donctta Rdqy, who plays Truvy, the
owner of the salon, said this play is a
different experience because she had to
learn how to wash and set hair and to
give manicures while saying her lines.
“I had to take classes at Hair Illusions
that were very intensive,” said Riley, a
first year graduate student. "Normally,
you can just learn your lines, but this was
a real challenge. This was really differ-ent
for me because I am a more natural
person."
Riley said that learning the secretsof
hair care helped her connect with Truvy.
“1 caught the essence ofthe character
by learning all of this,” she said. “She
believes all of life is beauty, and 1 can
play her better because I understand
who she is.”
Wheelersaidsheunderstoodthechal-lenges
that Riley faced. "She had to
learn to do hair well because the charac-ter
has to meet several appointments.
She had to have that hair finished by the
time she said particular lines,” she said.
The set was also challenging because
they actually wash hair, meaning they
needed running water on stage. Wheeler
said that the stage has many props and
products that go with a beauty salon that
also add to the hectic space.
“I would have rather have had the
open space of the Thrust theatre,” she
said. "But with all the mechanics in-volved,
the Playhouse was chosen.”
The rest of the cast is rounded out by
former student Ann Bean, who plays
M'Lynn, Shelby’smother; senior Natalie
Harris, who plays Annclle; and second
year graduate student Alice Lentz, who
plays Ouiser.
All performances are at the Play-house
at 8 p.m., except the Saturday
matinee, which is at 3 p.m. Tickets for
students and senior citizens are $5.50
and general admission is $6.50. For ticket
information, call the box office at 852-

Music students celebrate the season with holiday concert
By Scott Mclntosh
Staff Writer
Holiday cheer will be spread
through the campus as the School of
Music presents its annual holiday
concert, performed by the University
Chorus, the University Orchestra and
the Collegiate Corral.
The Chorus and Orchestra, under
the direction of Kim Lloyd, and the
Collegiate Corral, under the direction
of Frank Heller, will perform Francis
Poulenc's "Gloria" with English
subtitles by Hugh Ross. The piece is
for soprano solo, mixed choruses and
orchestra.
The first half of the program
consists of a brass ensemble, opening
with a trumpet ensemble w hich flows
into the chorus’ rendition of Andrea
Gabriclli's "Magnificat,” followed by
a trombone and tuba ensemble.
Following a brief intermission, the
choir will perform the highlight of the
piogram, “Gloria,” featuring soprano
soloist Ixtitia Lc Master. Lc Master is
a sophomore music major.
Poulenc’s "Gloria” includes the
title work, "Laudamus Te” (We Praise
Thee), “Domine Deus” (Lord Most
High, Lord God), “Domine Fili
Unigcnitc” (Hail Oh Son of God Only
Begotten One), "Domine Deus. Agnus
Dei” (Holy Lord Most High, Lamb of
God), and “Qui Scdes Ad Dextcram
Patris” (Thou Enthroned on High at
God’s Right Hand).
Kim Lloyd, in her first year at the
university, feels that "the program is a
rather difficult piece for students.”
Lloyd, fresh from receiving her
doctorate at the University of Minne-sota,
brings with her some techniques
to help students cope with the stresses
of performances. She uses the
rclaxational exercise of group massage
to reduce the tensions caused by
frustrating pieces.
Don Scott Carpenter, a senior
music major and staff accompanist for
the University Chorus, said the
methods work. “These are new and
invigorating ideas,” Carpenter said.
"Ms. Lloyd is positive and upbeat.”
Lloyd said believes her students are
up to the difficult challenges posed by
the performance.
“As at any other school, we have
students with a high level of ability,
and then students with average
abilities,” she said. “When you mix
the two together, hopefully you will
create a good end product.”
Jennifer Gerding, a senior music
major, is part of the Collegiate Corral.
She has been with the University
Chorus for seven semesters.
“In the past we haven't done a lot
of performances with the Orchestra,”
Gerding said. "Past pieces weren’t
written for a choir and an orchestra.
So in that aspect, this performance is
different.”
Gerding has been with the Colle-giate
Corral for three semesters now.

Columnist wants to keep on rolling on the information superhighway
By Paige
Brooks
Staff
Columnist
One night last week I came home
after work, ready to sprawl in front of the
TV and think about nothing.
I approached the living room, notic-ing
my grandmother perchcdon the edge
of the loveseat with cigarette in hand,
lemonade at her side, and a perplexing
look on her distressed face.
“Paige,” she said. “What’s this I hear
about pornography on the Internet?”
“Where? On the news?” I asked. Just
then I remembered seeing a commercial
for the news series.
“Yeah, isn’t that the computer thing
you worked on for Breeders’ Cup?” she
asked, wondering why her granddaugh-ter
dealt with something that advertised
pornography.
Taking a deep breath, I quickly tried
to gather my thoughts as I sat down next
to her preparing for the discussion.
I began by telling her what any of us
who have had a communication class
have heard. “The media doesn't tell us
what to think but rather what to think
about.”
“You have to keep this in focus,” I
told her. “Remember you’re getting the
story from their perspective.”
Although she agreed with me and
supported this idea, I continued the dis-cussion
with more positive aspects of
the Internet.
The Internet is, in my opinion at least,
thecurrcnt “wave of the future.” It makes
it possible to interact with specialists in
a specific field of interest. It allows you
to interact with people from literally
around the world at the touch of a key. It
is also anew medium for the media.
The conversation lasted 30-45 min-

Aerosmith in concert: These
guys really deliver the goods
By Jodi Heintz
Staff Critic
No one can get away with as
much movin’ and shakin’, pel-vic-
grindin’,self-gropin’, dancin’
around and foot stompin’ as
Steven Tyler and still look good.
No one can electrify a stage with
their presence alone like Steven
Tyler. And no one looks as good
as Steven Tyler after 24 years of
rocking and rolling.
With a black tear painted on
the outer corner of his right eye,
"Phuck it” painted in his lower
abdominal area and histrademark
tight pantsand flowingshirt, Tyler
gave the audience a real show.
The sold-out concert, which
took place Dec. 4, also entailed
the great playing of Joe Perry,
Tom Hamilton, Brad Whitford
and Joey Kramer. The most en-joyable
aspect of the concert was
that Aeorsmith was true to its
music. Every song reflected the
sound fans love to hear on
Aerosmith’s albums.
That included their 1970s hits
as well as their latest releases.
Highlights of the show included
Aerosmith’s classics “Sweet
Emotion," “Dream On” and
“Walk This Way.”
The audience was especially
receptive to “Dude (Looks Like a
Lady)" and “Janie’s Got a Gun.”
Tyler's voice never ceased to
amaze the audience with the high-pitched,
vocal chord-tearing

the fall of 1993. With the auditions, a
Stronger group of singers was created.
"After the split into two different
groups, the level of talent of the Corral
has raised,” Gerding said. “It is an
elite group.”
The University Chorus, on the
other hand, does not require auditions
and is open to any student in the
university community, not just music
majors.
This year’s program includes
approximately 175 students. The
event, on Sunday, Dec. 11 in the
School of Music’s North Recital Hall,
is free and open to the general public.

utes. I assumed that she understood that
the Internet is anew technology which
still has some kinks to work out, just like
anything else. Overall, the good of the
Internet greatly outweighs the bad.
By the end of the weekend I had
forgotten about the conversation. Then I
walked into my news writing class on
Nov. 6 (this is the class that covered the
‘94 Breeders'Cup live over the Internet).
Hugh Finn, my instructor, was introduc-ing
a guest speaker from the 32 WLKY
News Room, Steve Sabato.
In the course of the discussion, I was
reminded of the discussion I’d had with
my grandmother when Sabato brought
up this series.
He said they had done an investiga-tion
on the possibility of pornography
on-line. To make a long story short,they
signed on, as a fictitious 13-year-old
boy, to a page titled something along the
lines of “Older Men Seeking Younger
Men (or Boys).’’ Through their com-puter
conversations, they set up a meet-ing
time and place. Once the older man
arrived, 32 WLKY exposed the situa-tion.
Unfortunately I never had the oppor-tunity
to see the scries, but knowing how
it affected my grandmother and some of
what the Internet has to offer, I became
quickly agitated.
Asa continuous flow of questions
entered my mind I raised my hand to
comment on the topic. I asked him if
they had put any positive aspects of the
Internet into the story or if they said
anything about how few of these “bad"
pages there are.
“No,” he replied.
I continued, “I by no means approve
of this misuse of the Internet, but since it
is a relatively new technology, I do not
think the first thing they (the general
public) hear about it should be these
kinds of stories which may deter them
from learning what the Internet has to
offer.”
After providing a statement which
changed the subject, he went on to an-other
student’s comment, ending my
direction of the discussion but not my
opinion of the Internet.
It is my perception that people should
take an active interest in utilizing the
Internet, keeping in mind what is avail-able
and deterring their children away
from filth.
To sum things up I will usemy favor-ite
analogy, as told to me by Hugh Finn.
The Internet is kind of like a book-store.
Anyone is allowed in to browse
through the shclvcsofhundrcdsof books
with an extremely wide range of topics,
and it is up to them to filter the trash from
what is worthwhile.
sounds that came from his “pouty”
mouth. Every time he strained his voice
to reach higher pitches and decibels, the
crowd responded enthusiastically.
The most dramatic, emotional high
came with “Livin’ on the Edge” during
the band's encore presentation. Tyler hit
fevered pitches beautifully and ended
the song hunched over a single light,
creating emotionally-moving shadows.
The only lull came when Perry per-formed
a couple of blues numbers with
some excellent guitar solos. It seemed
like a lull simply because Tyler moved
away from center stage to play the har-monica
and turn the spotlight over to
Perry.
Bands have increased ticket prices
over the last few years, arguably com-pensating
with high-tech gimmicks like
elaborate stages and lighting. What was
refreshing about Aerosmith (whose
ticket prices were $22.50 and $27.50)
was that the audience was given two
hours of real entertainment, not gim-micks.
Perry’s solos and Tyler’s never-failing,
wailing voice were right on the
money.
The opening band, Jackyl, had some
hard-hitting rock and roll numbers but
failed miserably in the end to win this
reviewer over. The raunchy and raucous
lead singer Jesse James Dupree brought
his infamous chainsaw act to the stage
once again, sawing a stool in half and
trying to smash it to bits. After several
failed attempts to break the stool in half
by repeatedly throwing the chair on the
ground, Dupree threw it against the
band’s sound equipment a few times
with success. Screams of righteousness
came from thecrowd—obviously some
found it amusing.

Historical Perspective
Important Dates
1519 Hermri Cortds, the Spanish conquistador, and a group of
Spaniards arrived in the region that is now Mexico.
1521 Cortds, with the support of thousands of Indian allies,
seized the Aztec capital city, TenochtitlAn, and the empire
fell.

California.
1810 On September 16, 1810, Father Miguel Hidalgo sounded a
battle cry known as the El Grito de Dolores, which
signaled the beginning of the Mexican revolutionary era
that eventually resulted in Mexican independence from
Spain in 1821.
1836 Mexico’s President Santa Anna and his troops defeated
the rebelling texans at the Alamo. Six weeks later, Santa
Anna was defeated by Sam Houston and his Texan troops
at San Jacinto. Texas declared itself independent and
formed the Lone Star Republic.
1845 The United States annexed Texas, which had declared
itself independent from Mexico in 1836. This was one key
event leading to the to the Mexican-American War.
1846 On May 13, 1846, the United States declared war on
Mexico and the Mexican-American War began.
1848 The United States and Mexico signed the Treaty of
Guadalupe Hidalgo, which ended the Mexican-American
War. Mexico lost nearly one-third of its territory, and the
United States acquired most of the territory that comprises
the southwestern states.
1853 James Gadsden, representing the United States, purchased
from Mexico 45, 532 square miles of additional land,
which was rich in copper, and opened a railroad route.

provisions of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, led a
scries of rebellions against Anglo-Americans in the Lower
Rio Grande Valley of South Texas.
1862 On May 5, 1862, French forces that had invaded Mexico
were defeated at Puebla by Mexican forces led by Ignacio
Zaragosa, a Texas Mexican. May 5 (Cinco de Mayo) is an
importantholiday observed by Mexican Americans.
1877 The El Paso salt War occurred, in which Mexicans
organized and rebelled against Anglos because of a
dispute over rights to salt beds.
1910 A revolution starting in Mexico caused thousands of
Mexicans to immigrate to the United States looking for
jobs and toescape political turmoil and persecution.
1924 Congress established the Border Patrol to monitor traffic
across the Mexican-U.S. border. This border had
previously been primarily open.
1929 The League of United Latin American Citizens was
formed in Harlingen, Texas. Like other earlier Mexican-
American civil rights organizations, the League stressed
U.S. citizenship and assimilation.
1929-35 Thousands of Mexican immigrants and their families
were repatriated to Mexico, most without legal
proceedings.
1942 The United States and Mexico made an agreement that
authorized Mexicans to work temporarily in the United
States. This project is known as the bracero program.
1943 The anti-Mexican “zoot-suit” riots occurred in Los
Angeles during the summer of 1943.
1954 The U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service began
“Operation Wetback,” a massive program to deport
illegal Mexican immigrants to Mexico.
1965 A grape strike led by C6sar Chavez and the United Farm
Workers Association began in Delano, California, a town
in the San Joaquin Valley.
Rodolfo “Corky” Gonzales formed the Crusade for
Justice in Denver. This importantcivil rights
organization epitomized the Chicano movement that
emerged in the 19605.
The U.S. congress passed an immigration act limiting the
number of Mexican immigrants to the United States to
20,000 annually.

American play produced on Broadway.
1982 Toney Anaya was elected governor of New Mexico.
1986 The Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 was
passed. Designed to control the entry of undocumented
(illegal) immigrants to the United Stares, it imposed
several penalties on employers who knowingly hired
illegal immigrants.
1988 President Ronald Reagan, appointed Dr. Lauro F.
Cavazos, a university president, Sectary of Education. He

away from the < ataniounts 108-76. With

2-3, while W('l dropped to 1-3.
Louisville coach Denny Crum said
the team play edan all around good game.
■ I was real phased with the effort,"
Crum said. I thought the guys really
played hard, our shot selection was a lot
better, and our transition game w as a lot
better than it was against Michigan
Stale.'
\V( I coach Benny Decs said li of L
has a fine squad.
I ouisville is awfullv good,” Dees
said "We knew they would overpower
us inside and we really had to drive the
post I had no idea that every time wc
drove the post, it would wind up in a
three. Wc could do OK if we got them in
a half-court game, but they got a running
start in the break and wc could not get
back."
The C ardinals wasted no time in as-serting
themselves, jumping out to a 43-
21 lead at the 5:46 mark of the first half
after sophomore forward Jason
Osborne's layup. Ihe ('atamounts could
only cut the deficit to 51-33 with 1:30
left in the half. Louisville closed the halt
out with a 7-0 run to grab a 58-33 lead.
Osborne and fellow sophomore guard
DeJuan W heat led the Cardinals at inter-mission
with 13 points each, while jun-ior
guard Tick Rogers notched nine.
U of L kept the pressure on in the
second half. The closest Western Caro-lina
got was 62-38. Louisville outscored
WC’U 50-43 in the final stanza and
cruised to the victory.
One of the stars of the game was
Catamount guard Frankie King. King
tallied a game-high 41 points and 15
rebounds while single-handedly trying
to keep WCU in the game.
Crum said King is a player with all of
the tools to be great.
“He’s got all of the moves, he can
handle the ball, shcxit it from the outside,
take it inside and he can rebound,” Crum
said. “He would miss a shot then he
would go to the other side of the basket
and get the ball and put it back in. He is
a player.”
Osborne finished with 22 points and
nine rebounds, while Wheat scored a
team-high 26 points. But perhaps the
all-around star for U of L was Rogers.
He continued his superb defensive play,
notching a school-record 10 steals along
with 17 points. Rogers now has 26 steals
on the young season.
Rogers attributes the press for allow-ing
him to steal the ball.
“It was not really me, it was the guys
up front who set the traps,” Rogers said.
“When they set the trap. Western Caro-lina
had to lob the ball in. So when they
lobbed the ball in 1 was anticipating
where the ball was going. Defense is
really effort. If you can put forth the
effort, your team will have a good defen-sive
game.”
Freshman forward Samaki Walker
said the press is a big part of the Cardi-nals'
game plan.
“I think our press is good,” Walker
said. “You can attribute that a lot to Tick
Rogers because he plays excellent de-fense.
With players like that wc can
afford to press. Wc need to work on our
press because, playing teams like Ken-tuckywhere
they play so much uptempo,
you have to slow them down.”

PROFILE: JODY MARTIN
Fifth-year senior enjoyed the ups and downs
of playing basketball and volleyball for U ofL
By George Browning
Staff Writer
If you think the Pope has a busy
schedule, try getting an interview with
Jody Martin. This studenl athlete is not
only a member of Ihe Cardinal volley-ball
learn, she also volunteers her ser-vices
to head coach Bud Childers and
the women’s basketball team asagradu-atc
assistant.
“Thisscmester has been really hard,”
Martin said. “I spent half of Ihe lime
sick, and I was tired a lot, but I felt like
it paid off.I proved to myselfthat I could
accomplish everything and still survive
in the classroom.”
Marlin must have learned her solid
work ethic from Childers in her days as
a player on the basketball team. Martin
was a four-year letter winner while be-coming
one of Ihe Lady Cardinals all-time
leading scorers. Her 1,240 points
rank fourth on the career list.
“I really miss basketball,"Martin said.
“1 miss the running up and down the
court, the three-point shooting, and I
really miss the fans cheering us on.”
Martin was a two-sport athlete in
high school, playing both basketball and
volleyball. Even though she was re-cruited
by some big name programs, her
individual skills were best suited for the
hardwood.
“1 think volleyball is very fun to play,”
Martin said. “When I came out of high
school 1 got offers from Northeastern
Illinois and Kansas, but I chose basket-ball
because I'm better at it, and plus I
just like to play it more.”
After her fourth year of basketball
eligibility was up, Martin had no idea
that she would be able to continue her
collegiate career in another sport.
"They (sports information) told me
that if you arc still a student in your Fifth
year you could continue to play for an-other
sport for one season,” Martin said.
“So I figured since I played high school
volleyball, I would join U of L’s team.”
When Martin returned to school,
that’s what she did. She and Ihe rest of
the Cardinals were part of the most suc-cessful
team in Ihe Coach Don Hardin
era, and a fifth straight Metro Confer-ence
title.
“I had not played volleyballcompeti-tively
in five years,” Martin said. “So
when I joined the team I had a lot of
polishing up to due on my skills. My
high school coach never really taught us
the fundamentals, so I had to kind of
learn from that. I do think that if I would
have worked oul wilh the team this sum-mer
and worked on my individual skills,
1 could have played and contributed
more.”
The Cardinal volleyball team finished
the season with a 29-5 record, and al-though
its fifth NCAA tournament loss
was the low point, Martin feels that her
experiences in the Metro Conference
Tournament more than make up for it.
“The highlight of the season for me
was the Metro Conference tournament,”
Martin said. “We were in South Florida
and we were all confident in ourselves
and each other. We knew we were going
to win. I also loved the fan support we
had down there. A lot of people traveled
with us.”
Prior to this semester Martin suffered
a tremendous loss when her 18-year-old
brother was killed in an auto accident.
After this tragic loss Martin realized she
wanted to spend her life after college in
the medical field.
“My major isphysical education, and
my concentration is health promotions,”
Martin said. “But when I was at the
hospital and saw what the nursing staff
did for my brother, I decided that I
wanted to go to graduate school and get
my degree in either cardiac rehab or
maybe even join U of L’s nursing pro-gram,”
Whatever direction Martin takes in
the future, expect her schedule to be as
full then as it is now, whether she is
running in an athletic arena or a hospital
corridor.

College athletics capture the
true spirit of competition

Does anyone r tally care about pro-fession!
sports anymore?
Pondering this question, I could
only come up wilh one answer - yes.
I am a sports fan. I enjoy the spectacle
of the World Series, look forward to
the Super Bowl and am glued to the
television during the NBA finals.
But in the era of millionaire utility
inficldcrs and spoiled basketball play-ers
who hold (heir breath until they’re
traded, college athletics have clearly
become this sports fan’s true passion.
Major league Baseball’s well
documented “labor negotiations”
continue. Does anyone really care if the
two sides are meeting and talking or not?
Initially, I found myself taking sides in
the dispute, but I’ve come to realize that
the owners and players alike are at fault,
at least in my mind. They arc biting the
proverbial “hand that feeds them." pre-maturely
ending a baseball season that
was one of the most exciting in recent
memory.
falk about shixiting oneself in the
toot, the National Hockey Ixaguc has
chosen not to start this season. After last
year's exciting Stanley C up Playoffs,
the NHL was successfully re-establish-ing
itself in the professional sporlsarcna.
With baseball playersonstrike, the NHL.
was guaranteed unprecedented exposure.
But instead, NHL players joined their
baseball brethren at the unemployment
line. This time, however, the owners
locked the players out of training camp.
NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman be-lieves
“if things arc going well now,
doesn’t it figure that they will be going
even better in another year?” Not if the
teams aren't playing, commissioner.
I he National Basketball Association
and the N'atioi. I Football league arc at
least playing, but not without contro-versy.
Chris Webber inked a fifteen
year, $74.4 million dollar contract
last season. After garnering Rookie
of the Year honors for the Golden
Stale Warriors, Webber exercised a
one-year out clause in his contract
and demanded to be traded, citing
irreconcilable differences wilh head
coach Don Nelson. Webber nowplays
for Ihe Washington Bullets. Don
Nelson has coached 2,691 games in
his NBA career, but he sadly offered
his resignation in order for the War-riors
to keep Webber and his79games
of experience. Wisely, the Warriors
opted to trade Webber and keep
Nellie.
At least Webber legally exercised
his contact option, Portland Trail
Blazer Cliff Robinson and Atlanta
Hawk Kevin Willis simply refused to
report to their team’s training camps
because they wanted more money,
clearly violating their current con-
Youthful Cardinals will be better

Asa student at U of L and a fan of
Cardinal sports, this has been a disap-pointing
year for me. Our basketball
season has finally started, and it seems
that whal everybody guessed is true.
The team is too young and inexperi-enced
to compete wilh most lop-notch
learns at a national level. But my disap-pointment
is not wilh Ihc players or Ihc
coaching slaff. I am disappointed in my
fellow students and fans.
I have heard nothing positive about
this year's team. Everybody is down
aboul this squad, but there is a glimmer
of hope that no one is talking aboul. We
have several talented young players in
DeJuan Wheal, Jason Osborne and
Samaki Walker. All three of these play-ers
have the potential loplay in Ihc NBA
after college. The only question is will
they be able to step up now in order to
win games for this season? Whal I sec is
an enormous opportunity for something
special lo happen here.
I see a lot in Ihc young team that
should give us reason lo be excited.
Walker is showing me every game that
he has something that Cliff Rozier never
had, namely a heart. I have yet to see
Walker pout after bad play or fail to
make it to his offensive end to help the
team. He tries every minute of every
game. Whether or not he will ever be as
good an athlete as his predecessor, he
still is a great nlayer and deserves re-start

tracts. Only ownerships’ threats of
legal action returned the players to
camp, but Willis was traded shortly
after to the Miami Heat.
The NFL has seemingly gone
about its business smoothly, but in-ternal
grumblingsarc surfacing. Play-ers
are unhappy with the current col-lective
bargaining agreement, par-ticularlythe
salary cap. The possibil-ity
of a strike sometime after this
season is not out of the question.
This brings me to college athlet-ics.
Of course, there aresome glaring
problems, including allegations of
recruiting improprieties and spoiled
athletes, but the majority of college
athletes arc competing for one rea-son:
the love of the sport.
Fan enthusiasm in the sports world
is never more evident than at a col-lege
football game on a Saturday
afternoon, whether it be the 102.501
people who pack Michigan Stadium
to watch the Wolvcrincsor the 37,(KK)
who come out to watch Ixiuisvillc at
Cardinal Stadium.
As for competition, what sports fan
docs not enjoy a Cinderella team, like
Santa Clara University, defeating pe-rennial
power Arizona in the first round
of the NCAA basketball tournament?
Obviously. I’ve mentioned the
staples of a college athletic program,
football and mcn’sbaskctball. But true
athletes, with and without scholarships,
can be found participating in swim
meets, soccer tournaments and field
hixrkey matches. These athletes truly
care. rhey enjoy the thrill of competi-tion.
They love the game.
Next time, you’re ready to empty
your savings account to attend a pro
contest, take some time to reconsider.
Go out to your alma mater and support
the soccer team or take in a womens'
basketball game. Enjoy the perfor-mance
of these athletes. At least they
care.
spcct. If Walker keeps a healthy attitude,
he can be one of the best players ever at
this institution.
Borrowing a quote from one of my
favorite movie characters who has had
his share of disappointment, “I take it
the situation is grim and the odds arc
against us. Sounds like tun." Just like
Captain Kirk and the rest of his crew, the
odds arc against us. We have a young
team, and with the losses of the big three
(Rozicr, Dwayne Morton and Greg Mi
nor) last year we don’t have much hope
of finishing even close to last season's
record. But we still have a lot going for
us in many of the young players and can
still have a good time.
For the first time in recent memory, the
team will be an underdog in many of its
games. The fans can take this as a reason
to give up, or they can give them the
support they deserve. Some ofthese guys
gave up on schools with much better
teams this season to come here, because
they saw something in U of L that they
liked. Asa university,we owe them a little
support.
I have a couple of ideas on how we
can do this. First, when at the games,
cheer for the team and wear the black
and red. Make a lot of noiseat the games.
Not just after a steal or an amazing dunk;
cheer from the moment the game begins
and remind team X that they are playing
in Freedom Hall, the home of the Cardi-nals,
and not some neutral court where
the fans don’t give a damn about who
wins as long as it’s a good game.
Second, learn the tight song. When
the band plays it, try and sing along.
Some people think the only fight song
we have is the one that keeps saying
“Hey!" Be proud of the schtx>l and sing
for your team. Finally, let the players
know you arc proud to have them at
louisvillc. These guys arc on campus
every day, so take the time to say “good
game."

Faculty survey illustrates faculty’s anger
he results of a recent Faculty Senate survey
I will not surprise anyone. The depth of faculty
tf anger and unrest expressed by the results.
U however, should shock everyone.
All 1,178 full-time faculty members received the sur-vey
through campus mail. An amazing number of them,
more than 60(), registered their opinions. Overwhelming
majoritiescondemned the actions or inaction of the U ofL
Board of Trustees and Universitypresident Donald Swain.
Huge numbers agreed that the faculty should join together
in a collective bargaining unit and that the Faculty Senate
should lead in the organization of that collective.
In fact, a whopping62.s percent of all faculty supported
both collective bargaining and putting the Faculty Senate
in charge of it. More than 80 percent responded by saying
that U of L’s next president should be an academician.
Two-thirdsof faculty agreed that recent governance changes
arc not good for the University. And 74 percent said (hat
administration has increased a disproportionate amount
relative to increases in student population and faculty
numbers.
Perhaps the most controversial questions pointed out
the "dire consequences” of a vote of no-confidence in
cither the president or the Board and then asked faculty if
the Senate should call for such a vote. Feelings among
respondents were strongest on these questions. While 45
percent agreed to the no-confidence question on the presi-dent,
54 percent agreed to it on the Board. The discrepancy
shows that many faculty are holding the Board responsible
for much administrative action.
Asking college professors to comment on administra-tors
is a lot like asking voters for their thoughts on politi-cians;
just by bringing up the questions, you invite criti-cism.
Everybody has his or her own opinion on how he or
she would run things if put in charge.
And who docs the asking influences the outcome. If a
member of the Student Senate asked a typical student for
our opinion on University administration, we would give
them an earful, not necessarily because we are that upset,
but because we would be talking to someone who repre-sents
us to the administration. We would likely give them
an extreme view on an opinion poll just to ensure that when
the results arc averaged, our views are represented.
All this qualifying aside, the faculty survey illustrates
more than just amplified views. The sheer numbers point to
a deep-rooted dissatisfaction, to genuine anger instead of
just constructive criticism.
The Board of Trustees and president will be templed to
blow off this survey. They have already declared the
questions biased. But they should look beyond the ques-tions,
ignore the specifics and think about the attitude
uncovered by the results.
The administration must open a real dialogue with the
faculty,one that concentrates not so much on particularsbut
rather on attitude. The Board must assume a leadership role
in the faculty's eyes. The faculty need to feel respected and
listened to.
The Board took a step toward this when it advocated
more meetings between the administration and the faculty
at the last Board meeting, but they must prove loan already-wounded
faculty that they arc genuine and sincere in their
efforts, ft is more important that the administration change
its processes than its goals. Perhaps the Board is finally
beginning to comprehend the level of faculty anger; we
fervently hope this is true, but only time will tell.
State report brings good news for a change
n the midst of a barrage of bad news about the
University of Louisville (shrinking funds, faculty
etc.), it is good to sec some news about U
of L that is at least somewhat positive. In a re-cently-
released survey by the Kentucky Council on Higher
Education, students who received their bachelor's degrees in
1993-94 rated the quality of instruction and other services at U
of L. Eighty-two percent of those surveyed rated their educa-tional
experience as good or excellent, something that certainly
wouldn't hurt U of L's academic reputation.
To the delight of the many UK-delractors on campus, U of
L had a higher rate of satisfaction than its counterpart in
l-exington, where 70 percent of students rated their experience
as good or excellent Itmay not be completely fair to compare the
two surveys, which were conducted separately by the two
schools and may have differed somewhat in choice ofquestions,
but U of L supporters still have the right to feel proud about the
results.
The surveys were conducted as part of an assessment of
Kentucky's higher-education system. Ihc assessment is part of
a movement by state government to analyze and hold higher-education
institutions more accountable. Among the report’s
findings are that more than one-third of college students in
Kentucky drop out or transfer within six years. It also found that
approximately 20 percent of the freshman and sophomores at
Kentucky colleges aren't ready for college math classes.
With regard to U of L, the report found that eight percent
of students at the University in 1991 were taking remedial
math; approximately 50 percent of them failed it (compared
with the state average of 38 percent). U of L also graduated
only 35 percent of students who were still in school six years
after they first enrolled, compared with the state average of
39 percent.
These figures are not cause for alarm, however. U of L's
graduation rates have long been lower than the state average,
but this is attributable to the University’sstatus as a so-called
“urban university.” Simply put, that means that it is part of
U of L's mission to educate at-risk students, certainly a
worthy goal. This causes U of L's averages in the areas of
academic performance to fall, hut this should not be looked
at as a negative. Instead, it is commendable that at-risk
students arc getting the opportunity to participate in higher
education.
Indeed, U of L is meeting the goals it set for itself: two
years ago, it set its goal for graduating students within six
years at 35 percent, which was right on target. While there is
always nxim for improvement, U of L seems to be progress-ing
in this area. This is something that Kentucky legislators
should take into consideration when studying the numbers
provided by the Council. As is usually the case with reports
of this type, the numbers tell only half the story.
Keep the true spirit of Christmas in mind
®t seems Christmas keeps becoming more about
credit cards, money, the rat race of bargain
shopping, and worrying about whether or not
you can afford gifts for everyone on your list.
Sadly enough, Christmas gets to be highly stressful, and the
joy and merriment seem to fly out the window.
I'he joy ofgiving tothose less fortunate can really bring one
back down to earth. For instance, it is amazing what a wonder-ful
feelingonc can getfrom dropping even a single dollar in the
Salvation Army bucket. Instead of walkingby, ignoring them,
and feeling like a Scrooge, drop some change in; it will make
you feel good. At least you know you’ve contributed. What
$lO or $2O is to one person may be the equivalent of a dollar
to you, and that's okay, as long as you do your part.
If money is out of the question, there arc several donation
drives going on around the campus that don’t require money
and could put you in the holiday spirit. Toys for Tots and U of
